Meta Title	Vegetarian Borscht Recipe
Meta Description	Borscht almost always features beets and typically has meat in it, but this vegetarian version is light, hearty, and far greater than the sum of its parts.

Boilerpipe Text	This vegetarian borscht is light, hearty, and far greater than the sum of its parts. By Blake Royer Blake Royer is a former chef, food blogger, and food writer who contributed recipe ideas and Chicago-based content to Serious Eats from the website’s earliest days. Updated December 20, 2025 (4) Serious Eats / Blake Royer Why It Works Reserving some of the beet and grating it into the soup at the end brightens both the color and the flavor. Warming the stock while the vegetables sauté keeps things moving, getting the soup on the table in just over half an hour. A final squeeze of lemon juice cuts through the beets’ natural sweetness and brings the soup into balance. Optional toppings like sour cream and fresh herbs let everyone tailor their bowl to taste. Who's ready for another cheap soup recipe? This one is as economical and simple as they come, is ready in minutes, and is far richer and warming than it has any credit being. The recipe comes via the Estonian food blog Nami-Nami , where I was looking for ideas to put the epic amounts of cabbage and beets that are plentiful here in Estonia to good use.

Who's ready for another cheap soup recipe? This one is as economical and simple as they come, is ready in minutes, and is far richer and warming than it has any credit being. The recipe comes via the Estonian food blog [Nami-Nami](http://nami-nami.blogspot.com/2007/09/recipe-for-healthy-and-delicious.html), where I was looking for ideas to put the epic amounts of cabbage and beets that are plentiful here in Estonia to good use. It is simply beets, onions, carrots, and cabbage, all cut into shreds and matchsticks, sautéed then simmered together until everything turns a beautiful pink. Borscht is a popular soup in this part of Europe, with numerous hearty variations that almost always feature the earthy beet. The majority of the time the soup has meat in it, but I didn't miss it one bit (nor did I notice that the soup has hardly any fat). I made a huge pot and the leftovers have only grown tastier. The flavor is light and hearty at the same time, made gently sour by the addition of lemon juice, and far greater than the sum of its parts. ### This recipe was originally published as part of the column "Dinner Tonight." ### February 2009 Recipe Details ## Vegetarian Borscht Recipe Cook 35 mins Total 35 mins Serves 6 servings Save Keep Screen Awake ## Ingredients - 1 pound beets (beetroot), peeled and cut into matchsticks (reserve a small piece to grate into the soup at the end) - 2 medium onions, sliced into half-moons - 2 large carrots, peeled and cut into matchsticks - 3/4 pound white cabbage, cut thinly into shreds - 2 tablespoons olive oil - 5 cups vegetable stock - Juice of 1/2 a lemon - Salt to taste - Coarsely ground black pepper - Sour cream (optional, omit for vegan soup) - Finely chopped parsley or chives (optional, for garnish) ## Directions 1.

Readable Markdown	This vegetarian borscht is light, hearty, and far greater than the sum of its parts. By [Blake Royer](https://www.seriouseats.com/blake-royer-5118571) ![Blake Royer is a contributing writer at Serious Eats. ](https://www.seriouseats.com/thmb/NNN2VeXPmuYZapeRzd-V9MYAYr4=/200x200/filters:no_upscale\(\):max_bytes\(150000\):strip_icc\(\)/__opt__aboutcom__coeus__resources__content_migration__serious_eats__seriouseats.com__mt-static__support__uploads__blake-royer-1-10356637d94042e0abd83688bc0af2d6.jpg) Blake Royer is a former chef, food blogger, and food writer who contributed recipe ideas and Chicago-based content to Serious Eats from the website’s earliest days. Updated December 20, 2025 (4) Serious Eats / Blake Royer ### Why It Works - Reserving some of the beet and grating it into the soup at the end brightens both the color and the flavor. - Warming the stock while the vegetables sauté keeps things moving, getting the soup on the table in just over half an hour. - A final squeeze of lemon juice cuts through the beets’ natural sweetness and brings the soup into balance. - Optional toppings like sour cream and fresh herbs let everyone tailor their bowl to taste. Who's ready for another cheap soup recipe? This one is as economical and simple as they come, is ready in minutes, and is far richer and warming than it has any credit being. The recipe comes via the Estonian food blog [Nami-Nami](http://nami-nami.blogspot.com/2007/09/recipe-for-healthy-and-delicious.html), where I was looking for ideas to put the epic amounts of cabbage and beets that are plentiful here in Estonia to good use. It is simply beets, onions, carrots, and cabbage, all cut into shreds and matchsticks, sautéed then simmered together until everything turns a beautiful pink. Borscht is a popular soup in this part of Europe, with numerous hearty variations that almost always feature the earthy beet. The majority of the time the soup has meat in it, but I didn't miss it one bit (nor did I notice that the soup has hardly any fat). I made a huge pot and the leftovers have only grown tastier. The flavor is light and hearty at the same time, made gently sour by the addition of lemon juice, and far greater than the sum of its parts. This recipe was originally published as part of the column "Dinner Tonight." February 2009 Keep Screen Awake - 1 pound beets (beetroot), peeled and cut into matchsticks (reserve a small piece to grate into the soup at the end) - 2 medium onions, sliced into half-moons - 2 large carrots, peeled and cut into matchsticks - 3/4 pound white cabbage, cut thinly into shreds - 2 tablespoons olive oil - 5 cups vegetable stock - Juice of 1/2 a lemon - Salt to taste - Coarsely ground black pepper - Sour cream (optional, omit for vegan soup) - Finely chopped parsley or chives (optional, for garnish) 1. Sauté onions, carrots, and beets over medium heat in the olive oil with a pinch of salt in a large soup pot, reserving a small amount of raw beet to grate and add near the end to enliven the color. 2. In the meantime, bring the vegetable stock to a boil. When the vegetables are soft (about 5 minutes), add the shredded cabbage and the hot stock. Bring to a boil and simmer 15-25 minutes, until the vegetables are tender. With a few minutes left, add the reserved grated beet. 3. Season to taste with salt and pepper, then squeeze in the lemon juice, aiming for a pleasing but subtle sour taste. Serve with freshly ground black pepper, a dollop of sour cream, and chopped parsley, if desired. ## Special Equipment [Large soup pot](https://www.seriouseats.com/best-cast-iron-dutch-ovens-equipment-review), [box grater](https://www.seriouseats.com/best-box-grater) ## Read More - [Shchavleviy Borsch (Ukrainian Green Borsch)](https://www.seriouseats.com/shchaveloviy-borsch-ukrainian-green-borsch-recipe-7566367) - [Hot Ukrainian Borscht](https://www.seriouseats.com/hot-borscht-beet-meat-soup-recipe) - [How to Make Great Vegetarian and Vegan Soups](https://www.seriouseats.com/the-vegan-experience-how-to-make-great-vegan-soups) \| Nutrition Facts (per serving) \| \| \|---\|---\| \| 121 \| Calories \| \| 5g \| Fat \| \| 18g \| Carbs \| \| 3g \| Protein \| × \| Nutrition Facts \| \| \|---\|---\| \| Servings: 6 \| \| \| Amount per serving \| \| \| Calories \| 121 \| \| % Daily Value\* \| \| \| Total Fat 5g \| 6% \| \| Saturated Fat 1g \| 4% \| \| Cholesterol 0mg \| 0% \| \| Sodium 838mg \| 36% \| \| Total Carbohydrate 18g \| 7% \| \| Dietary Fiber 4g \| 14% \| \| Total Sugars 11g \| \| \| Protein 3g \| \| \| Vitamin C 34mg \| 169% \| \| Calcium 61mg \| 5% \| \| Iron 1mg \| 6% \| \| Potassium 490mg \| 10% \| \| \The % Daily Value (DV) tells you how much a nutrient in a food serving contributes to a daily diet. 2,000 calories a day is used for general nutrition advice.* \| \| (Nutrition information is calculated using an ingredient database and should be considered an estimate.)
