BORSCH - Traditional Russian Soup Recipe

Name: BORSCH - Traditional Russian Soup Recipe
Ingredients: 2 medium beets (diced into small cubes, or coarsely shredded); 2-4 medium potatoes (you can skip them if you want, and it will taste the same!); 1-3 carrots (coarsely shredded); 1 onion (chopped); 1 small can of tomato paste (6 oz I think); 3-10 cloves fresh garlic, minced (you can cook without it, but I LOVE GARLIC and always add as much as possible); 45 oz water (depends on how thick you want the soup. I like mine on a thinner side, so I fill the pot halfway with water and the 2nd half of the volume would be the ingredients.); ½ medium-small cabbage (diced into ½”-¾” cube slices); Protein (optional) = 1.5 cups TVP if vegan, or 1 lb beef per original Grandma’s recipe; salt and pepper, bay leaf – to taste; fresh lemon juice or white vinegar (I prefer lemon juice); vegetable oil (I use extra virgin olive oil, but it doesn’t matter really); sour cream (I hate sour cream – vegan or not, and I never add it. It makes the soup taste more creamy, and is pretty much unnoticeable after you add it, so this is optional); fresh dill and parsley for topping
