Borscht with chicken - FAQ About Ingredients, Baking Time and Storage

Yes, beef can be a great substitute for chicken. Simply replace the chicken with beef chunks and adjust the cooking time as beef may take longer to become tender.
Leftover borscht can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. Make sure it cools completely before refrigerating.
To make a vegetarian version, omit the chicken and use vegetable broth instead of chicken broth. You can add extra vegetables like mushrooms or beans for protein.
Reheat borscht gently on the stovetop over low heat, stirring occasionally. Avoid boiling vigorously to preserve the flavors and textures.

Borscht pairs well with sour cream, fresh dill, and crusty bread or garlic toast. A side of pickled vegetables also complements its flavors.

Add a pinch of red pepper flakes, a dash of hot sauce, or freshly chopped chili peppers while cooking to give the borscht a spicy kick.
