Borsch from Chesnok: Cooking from My Corner of the Diaspora: Recipes from Eastern Europe, the Caucasus, and Central Asia (page 94) by Polina Chesnakova

Where’s the full recipe - why can I only see the ingredients?

Always check the publication for a full list of ingredients. An Eat Your Books index lists the main ingredients and does not include 'store-cupboard ingredients' (salt, pepper, oil, flour, etc.) - unless called for in significant quantity.

    Super comforting soup. I've made this a few times now and you need to take your time when making the zazharka to let all the flavors shine. I've been able to convert some people who aren't a fan of beets, to love them with this soup. This also freezes well too.
