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

Yes, you can substitute fresh tomatoes with canned diced tomatoes (about 14 oz). Skip the peeling step and add them directly with their juices during Step 9 for a quicker option.
Replace chicken broth with vegetable broth and omit the meat. Boost umami with mushrooms or a spoonful of soy sauce, and add a tablespoon of vinegar to balance flavors like the original recipe.
Store cooled borscht in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. The flavors often improve the next day as ingredients meld together.
Yes, borscht freezes well for up to 3 months. Thaw overnight in the fridge and reheat gently on the stove, stirring occasionally. Add a splash of broth or water if needed.
Swap potatoes with diced radishes, turnips, or cauliflower for a lower-carb version. These mimic the texture while reducing carbs significantly.
For thicker borscht, simmer uncovered longer to reduce. For thinner, add more broth or water gradually until desired consistency is reached.
Serve with a dollop of sour cream, fresh dill, crusty rye bread, or garlic-rubbed pampushky (Ukrainian bread rolls) for authenticity.
Absolutely! Pre-shredded coleslaw mix works well, though it may cook slightly faster—check tenderness at the 3-minute mark in Step 10.
