Description

The recipe won't take much time. If you've decided to cook delicious vegetarian borscht at home, you can soak the beans overnight in advance. However, this only makes sense if you prefer soft, well-cooked beans. If you like them firmer, there's no need to soak them. Dried white mushrooms are optional, but highly desirable. They add not only flavor but also an incredible aroma to the borscht.
