Borscht Soup Recipe- Martha Stewart 

I wish cooking shows were still this calm and relaxed. I feel like people have short attention spans and want everything in 3 minutes or less. Gorgeous soup!

I love Martha’s frugal mom.

Martha Stewart my mother is now long gone and a Polish Jew who almost perished in the Holocaust but managed to make it to North America and my sister and I are probably unworthy recipients of many of her and our Dad's great ideas. But they are ever present in our minds and hearts and some fundamental recipes remain, indelibly. I thank you and your mother for this collaborative presentation. As a foodie I mess about with food as the characters of The Wind in the Willows Messed about in Boats .. a meditative exercise, but this was utterly lovely. Many thanks!

I can’t believe Martha is over 70 this year and her mother left this world long ago at 93... time flies

Keep these old videos coming! Especially with momma Martha! ❤️

Love your mother ....love the quietness of your cooking show .....no yelling ...screaming or over the top antics ...Thanks

Martha's mother seems like a very gracious and lovely lady.

I love watching Martha and her mother.

"I think we can afford 4 mushrooms, Mother..." Lol Her Mom loves sour cream! It's in almost every video.

This is very good that Martha is sharing her culinary heritage by inviting her mother. Martha’s show adds so much cultural depth to it.

I LOVE watching your mother! I miss her......💕💕💕

Do we ever stop missing our mothers?

I know this soup my friends made this for me, they are Central Europeans. I love how each and every country has their own twist on this soup. Same goes for piorogue pastries❤

Thanks! I love to watch Martha and her lovely Mom cook! I miss the old days! They are both so confident.

Borscht is my family's favorite soup! Everyone makes it differently but it is always delicious!

Oh, my goodness, just found this recipe (vegan), made it today, had two big bowls and eyeing a third. Oh, and I made the vegetable stock. Both were so easy. I never baked my beets, and that retains the colour and nutrients as opposed to boiling. My tummy is happy! Thanks.

Smacznego! I just made some myself! It was fun watching and listening to you both chat it up in Polish!

Beet kvass that has been fermented until sour is a great borscht starter as well.

My mother would have got along just fine with Martha's mom. I enjoy seeing mom as much as the recipe!

I haven't attempted borscht soup for decades, only eating beets at a buffet when dining out. My husband came home with a good deal on beets and said to do something with it. I quickly went on youtube how to, and of course, selected Martha Stewart. I surprised myself making it, now want to do it again, since I missed some things like adding flour for thickener and had only parsley (no dill weed). I ladled beet broth in with sour cream and it was so smooth. Amazed that the lemon juice stops the red bleeding. Thank you for sharing this special recipe, going to watch it a few times.

Martha luvs her sour cream, her dear mom puts it in every recipe I think

Very enjoyable and informative. So civilized compared to today.

I loved cooking with my mom and I love cooking with my daughters ❤️

The videos with your mother are beautiful. I have watched them over and over.

Actually the recipe for BARSZCZ is a bit different in every family. Greetings from Poland!

She was so close 2 her mom how sweet 2 see their bond

This turned out amazing, I added the beet greens and stems. So light and delicious, so healthy

I second that opinion- What ever happened to calm cooking shows?- love 💕 seeing big Martha and MS- my Russian mom also made “pink soup”- delish!!! Thanks mom ❤️

I like watching Martha and her mother. Beets are high in immune-boosting vitamin C, fiber, and minerals like potassium (essential for healthy nerve and muscle function) and manganese (which is good for your bones, liver, kidneys, and pancreas). Not to mention these ruby red roots of tasty goodness are a unique source of betaine, a nutrient that helps protects cells, proteins, and enzymes from environmental stress. It’s also known to help fight inflammation, protect internal organs, improve vascular risk factors, enhance performance, and likely help prevent numerous chronic diseases. Beetroot soup is very healthy. We eat once a week. In the summer we add beet leaves to the soup. Instead of lemon, you can use vinegar. We usually eat with whole potatoes in the soup or mashed potato on a separate plate. Clean red borscht (Barszcz czysty czerwony) is served for Christmas Eve. We make refreshing sour beet kvass from raw red beets with salted water, sourdough rye bread, garlic, bay leaf and allspice. It may take three to five days to sour.

If Martha’s mom is a good Eastern European woman, then you all know she didn’t share her own recipe exactly like she makes it ;p Don’t get so bent out of shape! It looks delicious.

Awww how sweet mother and daughter time is always so special!

I LOOOOVEEEEEEEEEE IT. i love how they celebrate together. Happy Easter! Christ is Risen! Alleluia.

Martha ... Your mother is a sweetheart!

I love how deferential Martha is when cooking w mom. So sweet

I was fortunate to have had borscht soup made by Eva Tomiuk one winter as a school kid. The best!

What an adorable chemistry Martha Stewart has with her mother. This is very similar to how my family makes beet borscht

No wonder Martha is great cooking!

I make my soup by roasting the the beets first because of this show.

The sweetest video I have ever seen! Thank you

This recipe may not be traditional (it's certainly nothing like my grandmother's recipe), but I made it tonight, and it was incredibly good ! I'll definitely be making it again.

I love your mom Martha she's so lovely it's so nice to see both of you cooking together!

Yay! Another mom recipe/video 💕

Mummy is adorable

Awww, i love martha and mom!

Omg. Just love watching you two cook!!! And speaking at the ending some Polish!!! Dzien cuhee !!!❤️😘

Getting homesick watching this.

🌹 l loved watching BIG Martha in action!! She was the Cats Meow 🎯 Loved her sweet personality & her 'stick to the recipe' attitude 🎉 Miss you Big Martha & thank you for giving us your wonderful daughter ❤

I love Christmas, that is my favorite soup.

I swear to God, Martha... Will definitely try this recipe, Martha. 🥫😎

Love your mother Matha!! She is great!!

Martha can still get it!!!

This recipe reminds me of Babcia, I miss her dearly and was just thinking about all the foods that we ate during lent. Thanks Martha for reminding me and your mother also in heaven with my will probably making all these for next week. I look forward to trying your recipes of golumpki, pierogi etç because I lost all of babcias recipes somewhere between the 1st & 9th floods. Thank you. Sincerely, Jaimie. JAMS. 1 T

Oh, Martha, you are one of those people who somehow exudes good vibes. The borscht looks like something to try. What about meat, though? Which: beef, pork, chicken?

Oh i love beets...and i love this soup....Thanks Martha and your mom is pretty cool to!!!

I am so proud that they are polish ,yay!

What a darling video! Borscht is one of my favorite recipes. I will try your recipe!

My goodness! Wish I was there for a serving

❤️ Thank You ❤️

That is a HUGE piece of foil for four beet 🤣🤣🤣

Her mom is so adorable.

I do mine very similiar I use lemon But instead of dill I use the beet tops , Carrots potatoes Garlic Mushroom Just little creme ,

Thank you both for this cooking 'how to'; I look forward to trying this. I think I 'might' add some potatoes to taste, after I try it the original way you've shown. Martha, you're the best!! Cheers!

The deep colour is so beautiful !

I LOVE BORSCHT!!!

I’m so weird I love Borscht but I don’t care for beets. They were always on my family’s Holiday Table. 😳🙄😂

Mom knows best. Of course her daughter can afford the mushrooms but that wise of her mother to warn the audience in case noone wants to spend money for pricey mushrooms. Way to go mom!

Such a nice lady's love them because they are polish,the same country i came 😊!!!

I love Borscht!!!

Love moms!

What a darling mother you have, Martha. I hope you get to enjoy her for many, many years.👏❤️🌷. The soup was fantastic.👏👏👏👏

I Love you Martha!!!

Beautiful combination 😍

well, this is really delicious beetroot soup(we do it too and call it Polish beets soup/ usually serve it cold, in the Summer) , but it's not a borscht =)

Great food .

Wow I didn’t know your mum was polish! Such a lovely woman she was!

Oooh! I want to make this this weekend!

Hello good to see you Martha

Jak milo popatrzec jak matka z corka gotuja I troche po polsku!!!😀❤🌹🌹🌷🌷

Looks delicious !!

adorable both!!!

The respect Martha shows to her mother is AMAZING 👏 🙌

Feel like I'm watching 'Ninja Wars - Kitchen Edition: Passive Aggresive Comp'

I did not expect the best part of this video to be Martha's insanely cute mom!!!

thanks for sharing...i just moved to ukraine and it is a little different , the borsht, but i will try yours!! Atlanta , ga

Je les adore toutes les deux

I love beets thank you 😊

What year was this? I remember early 2000 this song with the guitar and the humming voice was so relaxing. Lol.

lmao I watch like 8 of these videos, and Sour Cream seems to be the common theme

I made this soup today. Fabulous .. just like my Mothers. Used the four fresh beets, but next time, I will also add one or two cans of string beets that my Mother did, so there’s more to chew. Otherwise, it was delicious. The lemon is a must.

my favorite soup :)

Martha's mum loves sour cream. Uses it liberally in most dishes 😂

love these classic videos also; so many different recipes but this is great. I have a friend whose childhood memories include this soup and it's almost exactly like this! My Dad was Serbian and I have an entire translated cookbook of extraordinary meals.

Home sweet home

You can tell her mom is a OG lol

As a Romanian, I don't get this slavic recipe. Borsch is a soup in which you put the key ingredient: the borsch itself - which is a liquid from fermenting wheat bran + corn flower + black bread +etc + the particular fermenting bacteria (which is the key). This liquid is sour like lemon juice, and is added to make the soup sour. Personally i love drinking it by itself, more than adding it into a soup. But this recipe doesn't say anything about adding this sour fermented liquid.. this is just a soup, not a borscht.. (its possible that this is completely different in Slavic countries versus Romania or Balkan/Turkish influenced countries)

I always roast a beet for my Passover plate. I use it instead of a lamb shank.

This is how I've had it from friends, but with meat xo

She def can’t beat mine 😊

Martha's mother could have had her own cooking show to LOL I had some unique food experiences in my childhood my mother used to clean for this elderly couple and he was polish and she was Czechoslovakia they became like second grandparents to me because they didn't have any grandchildren and they had wanted grandchildren bad so they taught me a lot of things trust me meal time was always good

Barszcz :)
