Hi friends! Today I prepared Ukrainian Borscht (red soup), however instead of using cabbage, I used Kale, and instead of beets, I used tomato sauce. It turned out absolutely delicious! Let’s get started!

 

Ingredients:

• Olive oil

• Chopped onion

• Shredded carrot (using a grater)

• Cut meat (I used beef)

• Cut potatoes

• Canned tomato sauce

• Shredded fresh garlic

• Salt and spices depending on your preference

• Kale

• Water 

• Sour Cream

 

Instructions:

1. Turn on your Instant Pot on the program “sauté”, pour in olive oil, and put in your chopped onion. Fry the onion for a few minutes.

2. Add in the shredded carrot and fry it for several minutes.

3. Add in your choice of meat and fry it for 5-7 minutes.

4. Now add in the potatoes.

5. Add in your canned tomato sauce.

6. Add in water

7. Now add in salt and spices based on your preference. 

8. Close your Instant Pot lid and set the program “high pressure” for 15 minutes (The time you set depends on the type of meat you have. For example, if you are using chicken, then you will need to set a less amount of time.)

9. Once the program finishes, choose the function “sauté”, add in Kale, fresh shredded garlic, sour cream, mix everything together and let it boil for 5 minutes.

10. Turn off the program “sauté”, close the Instant Pot lid and let the soup stay in the Instant Pot for an additional 15-20 minutes.

 

Now you can open your Instant Pot lid and start serving your Ukrainian Borscht! Enjoy!
