All age groups enjoyed it ! Made exactly as written. Didn’t taste quite the same as my Polish mother-in-law’s borscht, but this recipe was healthier and more popular within my family, while still being an acceptable borscht to dear mil.

I made the borscht and sour cream. I took a lot of liberties, basically leaving out anything I didn’t have or don’t like . Broth, precooked beets, bouillon, shredded hashbrown potatoes, and raw coconut vinegar. So it was even more basic than this already basic recipe. Borscht was delicious but missing something. It felt incomplete. I needed the tang!! I needed a dollop of daisy! ? For the sour cream, I only have a tiny ninja and used about two handfuls of cashews soaked in a little coconut milk. But when I went to blend, there wasn’t enough friction, so it thinly chopped. I didn’t want to wait for more cashews to soak so.. (I’d perused the comment section earlier) I used half a can of great northern beans. I used a bit of lemon juice, and that’s it. Omitted the apple cider cause the flavor is not to my liking. Wow, I had no idea this would resemble sour cream so much. I left it thick. I completely understand the sentiments of “this doesn't last in our home.” I think the half cashew, half great northerns knocks the cost down too.
Came for the borscht, left with this epic sour cream.
Thank you very much for sharing these recipes. They are perfect and flexible. Love it!! Greatly appreciate you.

Wow! It tastes good! I wasn’t expecting such a good taste from such a simple recipe. My only concern is the high sodium level of this dish.

The recipe for the sour cream is within the recipe for the tacos. We love cashew sour cream!

In reply to Sarah. Can't wait to make this borscht! All your links to your cashew sour cream seem to be misdirected. Both are landing me at two different (delicious looking,) taco recipes...but no sour cream mentioned in either...?

In reply to Chandravimalaa. You can find it here. You can also use store-bought vegan sour cream if you prefer.

I think she means you can keep it in the fridge for up to 5 days before it starts to get old. Otherwise, if you want to keep some longer, freeze it.

In reply to Olya. Thanks for the note! I have always been told it's a Russian soup but I did a quick search to find out I've been mistaken all this time. Will edit the post now.

Hi Sarah Russian cabbage soup has nathing to do with borcsht. It's called Shchi and it doesn't have any beetroot in it. Borcsht is traditional Ukrainian dish, please don't upset ukrainians by calling it russian. Otherwise great recipe ;) Thank you!

Hi -- thanks for this recipe! I've got a big pot of this cooking on the stove right now.I'm tempted to add cooked beans to it for protein, and hoping that that isn't too far out a thing to do with borscht in terms of authenticity. By the way, your links on this page to "cashew sour cream" just reload this page. I tried your site search and didn't find a cashew sour cream recipe that way either. I'm sure I'll find something by Googling, so I'm fine; this is just an FYI. Thanks again for the recipe!

what happens if you don't refrigerate it for 5 days or such?
