Borscht Moscow style

Moscow-style borscht is a regional preparation of beet soup that uses beef stock and smoked meat. Beetroot, cabbage, carrot, onion and tomato paste appear in the vegetable mixture. The meat served in the bowl can include boiled beef, ham and sausages.[1][2]

The beetroot can be cooked separately with tomato paste, sugar and vinegar before being added to the stock with cabbage and sautéed vegetables. Sour cream and chopped herbs are added when serving. Small savoury vatrushki with quark filling can accompany the soup.[1][2]
