Love hot borscht, being slavic this is the kind of food I was brought up on. I usually make it in the cooler months. Good with sour cream and rye bread, or potatoes.
It is lmade with sour cream until it turns pink.
Add celery, green onion, radish, cucumbers, maybe a hard boiled egg sliced.
Light salt.
Serve cold in summer. Add extra beets if needed.
