7. When the cabbage becomes soft, add the prepared sautéed vegetables to the broth. Tomato paste or tomato juice may turn out to be too sour. You can neutralize the acidity by adding sugar to the borscht. I used 1 tablespoon. Now add salt and spices. Cook until all the vegetables are done, about 15 minutes.
