For a richer flavor, consider using chicken or vegetable broth instead of water. Adjust the amount of sugar and vinegar to suit your taste preferences. The goal is to achieve a balance between sweet and sour. If you don't have fresh sorrel, you can substitute it with a squeeze of lemon juice for a similar tartness. This soup is best served very cold. Allow ample time for chilling in the refrigerator before serving.

Follow The Directions
01
StepIn a large pot, bring approximately 3/4 of the pot full of water to a rolling boil. Add the diced potatoes and cook until they are fork-tender, approximately 8-10 minutes.
02
StepStir in the chopped green onions and continue to cook for another 1-2 minutes.
03
StepIncorporate the chopped spinach and sorrel into the pot. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, or until the greens are wilted. Remove the pot from heat.
04
StepSlowly pour the beaten eggs into the mixture in a thin, steady stream, stirring constantly to prevent curdling. Continue stirring until the soup begins to thicken slightly.
05
StepSeason the soup with salt, sugar, and vinegar to achieve a balanced, slightly sweet, and tangy flavor profile. Adjust the seasonings to your personal preference.
06
StepTransfer the soup to a large bowl and allow it to cool to room temperature before transferring it to the refrigerator to chill completely.
07
StepBefore serving, garnish the chilled borscht with your choice of diced cucumber, chopped hard-cooked egg, a dollop of sour cream, and fresh dill. These garnishes add texture and enhance the overall flavor.
