Peel the beets and the carrots, grate half of the beetroot and all the carrots coarsely. Saute the vegetables with the diced onion in a saucepan with the butter for about 5 minutes until colorless.
Add the white wine and vegetable stock, bay leaf, caraway, salt, pepper and nutmeg and bring to the boil.
Let the borscht simmer for 25-35 minutes, then season to taste and serve with freshly chopped parsley and sour cream as well as the desired side dishes.
I have kept the basic borscht preparation vegan or vegetarian. Add the red soup, your borscht stew as required with the desired ingredients. Good success and good appetite!
