If you want to reduce the calorie content of the soup and make it lighter, ditch the potatoes. But we would not recommend reducing the amount of garlic: it will not add any special spiciness to the delicious lean borscht with beans, but it will make it more saturated, fragrant, appetizing. It is quite possible to add dill to the company with parsley, if you and your loved ones have especially tender feelings for it.
