Directions:
Brown the meat. Remove from heat and leave juices in pan. Sauté carrots, onions and garlic in juices.

Put broth and wine into large pot. Add meat and lightly sautéed vegetables, and simmer for an hour uncovered, stirring occasionally. Then add vinegar, thyme and cabbage, and simmer uncovered another 1/2 hour or until beets and meat are tender.

Serve in bowls with a dollop of sour cream on top. Also good with sliced cucumbers on top of the sour cream. It's great served left over!
Personal Notes:
Personal Notes:
Borscht soup is a traditional Eastern European soup made with beef, cabbage, beets, and other vegetables. It's known for the beautiful ruby-red color that comes from adding beets. The main ingredients that always go into a borscht recipe are cabbage, beets, and beef.
