Mom's Borscht


This is a recipe my mother acquired from a friend long, long ago. Over the years, she altered the recipe, combining elements from various ethnic styles of borscht. I love this soup in the winter, as it's so hearty and comforting and simple to make. We always eat this as a meal, so 10-12 servings may be an underestimate. It makes a lot! Also freezes well.

Steps


Brown ground beef in a medium frying pan or dutch oven.
When beef is half-browned , add onions and cook until remainder of beef is browned.
Add remaining ingredients to dutch oven , then add beef / onion mixture.
