1. gathering ingredients.
2. chopping, chopping, chopping.
3. sauteing 2 small onions (pink from being chopped LAST {so as not to cry throughout chopping}, after beets).
4. 1 red cabbage and 3 kinds of beets thrown in with 4-5 cups stock, a can of whole tomatos and a tablespoon of apple cider vinegar.
5. simmering beets make a pretty color.
6. wait {though preferably NOT on the table like mr. pinky leon is doing here} while soup simmers for 30 minutes. (you only get away with sitting on the table when you look like this.)
7. add one large potato, a turnip (i think the turnip may be unneccesary) and a carrot, simmer 15 more minutes. add salt and pepper to taste.
8. done! with sour cream on top.
9. sour cream mixed in. YUM.
this soup is very flavorful! i recommend it. it makes a lot, so you may want to cut down on the amouts a bit.

It looks great, but I'm not sure that any Russian soup recipe is better than my mother's borscht! Your cat is absolutely beautiful.
I am telling you right now, the cat is saying -- "you don't expect me to eat that do you?"
Åh, vilken fin bildserie! Och det ser supergott ut :-) Tack för middagstipset, finkusin!
Pinky is SO cute -- how can you stand it?
The soup looks delish too...

i'm a vegetarian, so just used a veggie stock. but guessing beef would work too! cheers.
