For an even richer flavor, consider using bone-in beef chuck or adding a beef bouillon cube to the broth. Feel free to experiment with different types of sausage. Smoked kielbasa or even andouille sausage can add a unique twist. Adjust the sweetness and acidity of the borscht to your liking by adding more sugar or vinegar. If you prefer a smoother borscht, you can use an immersion blender to partially blend the soup before serving.
