I don't know what borscht is selling in American supermarkets, but I agree with Chanteuse_ar answer. In Russia, borscht doesn't prepare with beet as the main and one component. There are a lot of other ingredients and special conditions to prepare a good soup. For example, you should brown vegetables on the bacon. While you are browning beet you should add spoon of the vinegar, it will give light red colour to the soup(if you don't add it soup will be nearly brown colour).
My friend's mom prepare wonderful borscht and I usually take all the recipes from her, but my borscht is good but no as good as her...
So may be all of you never tried the real borscht?:)))))

I love borscht!
There are SO many kinds, it's like having one word for "love"!
But my favorite so far is the one from Bernard Clayton's Complete Book of Soups and Stews. I also like RAW borscht if you can believe it, recipe by the Butenko family.

I don't like what passes for borscht here in the US, at least in the supermarkets. When I was in Russia two years ago we had loads of it and none of it had beets as a key ingredient. And they used yellow beets, not the red ones. For the most part it was made with tomatoes and cabbage and other vegetables. It was delicious.

I prefer cabbage borscht. sweet & sour with cabbage onions celery diced tomato chicken stock lemon juice vinegar brown & white sugar. bits of corned beef optional. I made this alot at a jewish style deli I used to run years ago.

yes especially around Xmas time when my mom makes it. She uses red beets as the main ingredient and spices to make it just right.
With a polish tradition, red borszt is eaten with little raviolis called "uszka"

No - but then maybe I just haven't had it prepared properly. One of those things.
