LOVED IT!!!
I made a few changes – added some lean ground beef, doubled the cabbage, used canned beets, and doubled the broth.
It came out perfect! So tasty and filling. A low-calorie, very satisfying meal. Chocked-full of vitamins, too! Can’t wait for the leftovers tomorrow.

My husband is from Ukraine. I am learning to cook some of his favorite home food, obviously this one was a MUST. Always nervous making food to try to be similar to how he is used to having it made…… this came out PERFECT ( I had to tweak the amounts a little bit because I have a 4qt IP) !!!!. :). THANK YOU! He couldn’t stop eating it and was So pleased. Each successful dish, brings me closer to my goal. Thank you for sharing the recipe :).

In reply to Nataliya Kearl. Hi Nataliya. Yes, I would do exactly like you said. Let them cook for about 5 minutes on the SAUTE function at the very end and that should be fine. And thanks so much for your kind words! Happy Instant Pot Cooking!

Looks very good and the way I make it (omit vinegar) but I understand why it is there (my mom uses lemon juice at the end)

Definitely will give it a try! I usually add some beans at the end… I am thinking if I’d like to add canned beans, I’d probably have to do it at the very end, when the cycle is finished. Just turn on the sauté option and let it boil with the added beans… what would you suggest?

Thank you for wonderful recipes, btw, they all look very tasty and inviting!

I’m not a big fan of borscht but the person I’m living with loves it. This recipe was absolutely delicious, followed it to a tee. Added just a bit of dill when I went to eat it. This will be my go to recipe for borscht from now on. Thanks for sharing.

In reply to Lucky. Hi Lucky. Thanks so much for your feedback. Yes, the beets can be tricky sometimes and it can be hard to know how fresh they are when bought in a store.I too have sometimes challenge with this. Hope you try some more recipes from our blog!

Made this soup for supper last night and enjoyed it very much. Much more work than I had anticipated. I am sure the beets would peel much easier if fresh from the garden especially if scalded first the skins slip right off. Unfortunately, mine was from the store where they no doubt had been around for quite a while so even after 20 minutes parboiling them I still had to use a veggie peeler.Will enjoy for the rest of the week.

Made this recipe just this evening. Came out delicious. The only thing I changed was adding dill. I love dill in borscht so I added in the soup and also sprinkled some fresh dill on top. Also, because I’m vegan I followed recipe for homemade coconut sour cream recipe.

In reply to Arthur. :) Thanks for your feedback, Arthur. There are so many variations of this word, depending on where in Europe it comes from. But thanks for letting us know!

Tried it today with our instant pot. Used kohlrabi in place of the cabbage. It came out very well!

My only complaint is that borsch in Ukrainian does not end with a “t.”

Thank you for this delicious recipe! I’ve been looking for one that reminded me of the borscht I had living while with a Russian host family years, and this hit the spot!

This recipe is delish as is! I have made it several times. Once I tried with beef, but I liked it better without the meat. We like to serve this with sour cream, fresh dill and crusty bread. Thanks for the great recipe!

In reply to Elie. Hi Elie. You can eat it cold but if you prefer the warm version, that's great. I also prefer it warm :).

In reply to Julia | Happy Foods Tube. We always it hot too. I don’t think you would eat this soup cold with potatoes and veggies, but maybe strained broth.

I had most of the ingredients and made the soup tonight. I am very slow at chopping vegetables, so that part took me nearly an hour. I started sauteeeing the onions while I was cutting up the beets. The recipe turned out well and everyone enjoyed it. Thank you!
