Gypsy borscht

Description

The recipe won't take much time. This borscht will require more time, but believe me, it's worth it. The sautéed vegetables give the soup a special flavor. If you don't eat pork fat or consider it too high in calories, use regular vegetable oil. There's no need for sugar, as the borscht will be much milder since it contains no vinegar. Serve with fresh herbs and sour cream.
