1
Prep the Vegetables
Peel and chop the beets, potatoes, and carrots into small, even-sized pieces. Clean the leeks thoroughly to remove any dirt, then slice them thinly. Mince the garlic.
2
Cook the Beets
In a large pot, add the chopped beets and enough water to cover them. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for about 20 minutes or until tender.
3
Add Remaining Vegetables
Once the beets are tender, add the potatoes, carrots, leeks, and minced garlic to the pot. Stir to combine.
4
Simmer the Soup
Add additional water or vegetable broth to the pot to achieve desired consistency. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Allow the soup to simmer for another 30 minutes, or until all vegetables are cooked through.
5
Serve
Ladle the borscht into bowls and top with a dollop of crema. Enjoy your delicious borscht!
