In reply to Sandi. Yes, you can use canned beets! Canned beets are a convenient option and can save you time, as they are already cooked and tender. Here are a few tips when using canned beets:

Could I use canned beets? I remember my mom doing that. This is the closest I’ve seen of her soup!

I love that your recipes are adjustable for the number of people being served. As a retired couple, it is difficult to adjust recipes so that we don’t have leftovers for a week or end up throwing away older food. Thank you for making this process simpler

I added cut up potatoes and a few canned diced tomatoes. I Found the vegetables were still hard so I put the soup in a crockpot for an hour. Thanks for the recipe!

In reply to Michelle. Hi Michelle, I love it when there are fond memories attached to food. I'm so glad this recipe brought you back to your grandmother's kitchen. :)

My Grandmother used to make borscht without meat. She would boil the potatoes first, remove the potatoes and then use the potato water as stock. She would then basically make mashed potatoes with a bit of butter and milk and add them back to the soup at the end. Thank you for the inspiration as I might have to make this in the next few days for a warm and wonderful taste of my childhood
