Preparation method
Preparing the vegetables
Peel and wash all vegetables thoroughly. Finely chop the yellow onion, and cut the carrots, parsnip, and celery root into small, uniform cubes. Peel the potatoes and cut them into medium-sized cubes, and finely chop the red bell pepper.
Cooking the soup
In a large pot of about 4-5 liters, heat the sunflower oil over medium heat. Add the onion, carrots, parsnip, celery root, and bell pepper, sweating them for 5-6 minutes until translucent and their sweet flavors are released.
Pour about 2.5 liters of warm water over the vegetables and add a teaspoon of iodized salt. Let simmer gently for 15 minutes.
Chef's tip
Boiling the borș separately before adding it to the pot is the secret to a clear and delicate soup, eliminating any raw fermented taste.
Lovage and dill retain their vibrant color and aromatic oils if added only after the heat has been turned off, under a lid.
