Please try again.","attrs_readable_markdown":"Colorful, nutritious, and easy to make, this recipe for borscht soup is a keeper.\n\nThis borscht soup blends sliced beets, broth, potatoes, and coleslaw mix for a rich, savory flavor in one pot.\n\n![Easy Borscht Soup with sour cream](https:\/\/centslessdeals.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Easy-Borscht-Soup-TheShortcutKitchen-9.jpg)\n\n## Holly’s Recipe Highlights\n- **Flavor:** This recipe has all the taste of the Polish classic but with less prep and cooking time.\n- **Difficulty:** One-pot dishes are the best! Just toss everything in and simmer.\n- **Prep note:** Make a double batch and freeze some for later.\n- **Swaps:** Swap out beef for vegetable broth for a hearty vegetarian soup.\n\n![broth , coleslaw , bay leaf , beets , garlic , oil , potato , tomato paste , salt and pepper with labels to make Easy Borscht Soup](https:\/\/centslessdeals.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/IG-Easy-Borscht-Soup-TheShortcutKitchen-.jpg)\n\n## Beets, Broth & Bold Flavors\n**Beets:** This shortcut recipe uses Aunt Nellie’s Sliced Pickled Beets, which are perfectly cut and portioned and ready to be used. Regular beets can also be used, but they need to be scrubbed clean and sliced.\n\n**Broth:** Beef or vegetable broth can be used in this recipe\n\n**Coleslaw Mix:** Another time-saver, coleslaw mix is pre-washed, shredded, and ready to use.\n\n**Potatoes:** Potatoes add texture and creaminess to homemade borscht. Leave the skins on to save time. If time is short, use leftover mashed potatoes or potato flakes.\n\n## Borscht, But Better\nThis soup is made even more delicious by adding chopped celery or fresh or dried dill. Make it meaty and toss in leftover ground beef, sausage, or (of course!) sliced Polish sausage.\n\n![adding ignredients to pot to make Easy Borscht Soup](https:\/\/centslessdeals.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Easy-Borscht-Soup-TheShortcutKitchen-3.jpg)\n\n![adding broth and beats to pot to make Easy Borscht Soup](https:\/\/centslessdeals.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Easy-Borscht-Soup-TheShortcutKitchen-4.jpg)\n## How to Make Borscht Soup\n1. Cook garlic in oil. Add broth, potato, coleslaw, and bay leaf **(full recipe below)**.\n2. Stir in beets and tomato paste and simmer until potatoes are tender.\n3. Season and serve with a dollop of sour cream and fresh dill.\n## Best Borscht Tips\n- Be sure to thoroughly drain the beets. Freeze the beet juice for future smoothies.\n- Greek yogurt can be used instead of sour cream.\n- Make it a bisque-style borscht and use an immersion blender or regular blender to make the soup creamy.\n\n![Easy Borscht Soup in the pot with a laddle](https:\/\/centslessdeals.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Easy-Borscht-Soup-TheShortcutKitchen-5.jpg)\n\n## Savor & Store Borscht Soup\n- Serve borscht soup with traditional sides like [boiled eggs](https:\/\/centslessdeals.com\/microwave-hard-boiled-eggs\/), cucumber slices, and thick pieces of bread for dipping and dunking.\n- Keep leftover easy borscht soup in a covered container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days and reheat on the stovetop or in the microwave (or enjoy it chilled).\n- Freeze portions in zippered bags for up to 4 months. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator or from frozen in a crockpot on low. Adjust seasonings before serving.\n## More Simmering Soups\n***Did you enjoy this Easy Borscht Soup Recipe?

Colorful, nutritious, and easy to make, this recipe for borscht soup is a keeper. This borscht soup blends sliced beets, broth, potatoes, and coleslaw mix for a rich, savory flavor in one pot. Holly’s Recipe Highlights Flavor: This recipe has all the taste of the Polish classic but with less prep and cooking time. Difficulty: One-pot dishes are the best! Just toss everything in and simmer. Prep note: Make a double batch and freeze some for later. Swaps: Swap out beef for vegetable broth for a hearty vegetarian soup. Beets, Broth & Bold Flavors Beets: This shortcut recipe uses Aunt Nellie’s Sliced Pickled Beets, which are perfectly cut and portioned and ready to be used. Regular beets can also be used, but they need to be scrubbed clean and sliced. Broth: Beef or vegetable broth can be used in this recipe Coleslaw Mix: Another time-saver, coleslaw mix is pre-washed, shredded, and ready to use. Potatoes: Potatoes add texture and creaminess to homemade borscht. Leave the skins on to save time. If time is short, use leftover mashed potatoes or potato flakes. Borscht, But Better This soup is made even more delicious by adding chopped celery or fresh or dried dill. Make it meaty and toss in leftover ground beef, sausage, or (of course!) sliced Polish sausage. How to Make Borscht Soup Cook garlic in oil. Add broth, potato, coleslaw, and bay leaf (full recipe below) . Stir in beets and tomato paste and simmer until potatoes are tender. Season and serve with a dollop of sour cream and fresh dill. Best Borscht Tips Be sure to thoroughly drain the beets. Freeze the beet juice for future smoothies. Greek yogurt can be used instead of sour cream. Make it a bisque-style borscht and use an immersion blender or regular blender to make the soup creamy. Savor & Store Borscht Soup Serve borscht soup with traditional sides like boiled eggs , cucumber slices, and thick pieces of bread for dipping and dunking. Keep leftover easy borscht soup in a covered container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days and reheat on the stovetop or in the microwave (or enjoy it chilled). Freeze portions in zippered bags for up to 4 months. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator or from frozen in a crockpot on low. Adjust seasonings before serving.

Colorful, nutritious, and easy to make, this recipe for borscht soup is a keeper. This borscht soup blends sliced beets, broth, potatoes, and coleslaw mix for a rich, savory flavor in one pot. ![Easy Borscht Soup with sour cream](https://centslessdeals.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/Easy-Borscht-Soup-TheShortcutKitchen-9.jpg) ## Holly’s Recipe Highlights - **Flavor:** This recipe has all the taste of the Polish classic but with less prep and cooking time. - **Difficulty:** One-pot dishes are the best! Just toss everything in and simmer. - **Prep note:** Make a double batch and freeze some for later. - **Swaps:** Swap out beef for vegetable broth for a hearty vegetarian soup. ![broth , coleslaw , bay leaf , beets , garlic , oil , potato , tomato paste , salt and pepper with labels to make Easy Borscht Soup](https://centslessdeals.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/IG-Easy-Borscht-Soup-TheShortcutKitchen-.jpg) ## Beets, Broth & Bold Flavors **Beets:** This shortcut recipe uses Aunt Nellie’s Sliced Pickled Beets, which are perfectly cut and portioned and ready to be used. Regular beets can also be used, but they need to be scrubbed clean and sliced. **Broth:** Beef or vegetable broth can be used in this recipe **Coleslaw Mix:** Another time-saver, coleslaw mix is pre-washed, shredded, and ready to use. **Potatoes:** Potatoes add texture and creaminess to homemade borscht. Leave the skins on to save time. If time is short, use leftover mashed potatoes or potato flakes. ## Borscht, But Better This soup is made even more delicious by adding chopped celery or fresh or dried dill. Make it meaty and toss in leftover ground beef, sausage, or (of course!) sliced Polish sausage. ![adding ignredients to pot to make Easy Borscht Soup](https://centslessdeals.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/Easy-Borscht-Soup-TheShortcutKitchen-3.jpg) ![adding broth and beats to pot to make Easy Borscht Soup](https://centslessdeals.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/Easy-Borscht-Soup-TheShortcutKitchen-4.jpg) ## How to Make Borscht Soup 1. Cook garlic in oil. Add broth, potato, coleslaw, and bay leaf **(full recipe below)**. 2. Stir in beets and tomato paste and simmer until potatoes are tender. 3. Season and serve with a dollop of sour cream and fresh dill. ## Best Borscht Tips - Be sure to thoroughly drain the beets. Freeze the beet juice for future smoothies. - Greek yogurt can be used instead of sour cream. - Make it a bisque-style borscht and use an immersion blender or regular blender to make the soup creamy. ![Easy Borscht Soup in the pot with a laddle](https://centslessdeals.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/Easy-Borscht-Soup-TheShortcutKitchen-5.jpg) ## Savor & Store Borscht Soup - Serve borscht soup with traditional sides like [boiled eggs](https://centslessdeals.com/microwave-hard-boiled-eggs/), cucumber slices, and thick pieces of bread for dipping and dunking. - Keep leftover easy borscht soup in a covered container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days and reheat on the stovetop or in the microwave (or enjoy it chilled). - Freeze portions in zippered bags for up to 4 months. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator or from frozen in a crockpot on low. Adjust seasonings before serving. ## More Simmering Soups ***Did you enjoy this Easy Borscht Soup Recipe?
