I love borscht.
I have been posting a lot of borscht recipes on the old Slavic thread . SLAVIC - Fall 2021 (Oct-Dec) Cuisine of the Quarter
I am starting a borscht focused thread since some of the recipes I am trying are not traditional.

I’ll have to check some stores in Toronto to see if they’re importing this

Oooh thanks for this. I have a lot of cabbage and want to make a borscht. Will read through, make one and report back. Any hints on something with cabbage, sauerkraut and possibly pork bones? Can beets go into the cabbage version? The Best one I ever had was at a Polish friend’s house just before Christmas. Everything cooked by a bunch of women, dish after dish, and so much vodka I wanted to cry. One of the most memorable meals of my life.
It’s really a kitchen sink soup, you can definitely use a pork stock, add bones, bacon, cabbage , and sauerkraut. Very flexible.
beets and cabbage can go into the same borscht, definitely.
some recipes above call for both.
My typical borscht is beet based, without cabbage, but you definitely can add cabbage.
Usually, what’s called cabbage borscht, found at Jewish delis, without any beets, is closer to a Russian and Ukrainian Shchi ( Sweet and Sour Cabbage Soup. ) That’s the cabbage soup I usually make. There was a long thread on Chowhound about that. I’ve been making it for 20 years.
