Ingredients List
Important Notes
Removing the scum from the boiling chicken broth is essential for a clean, clear soup base.
Sautéing the vegetables with pancetta and butter first creates a rich, savory flavor foundation.
Using pre-cooked beets makes the recipe faster and preserves the vibrant red color of traditional borscht.
