For a richer flavor, consider using vegetable broth instead of water. A bay leaf added during the simmering process can enhance the depth of flavor. Remember to remove it before serving. Feel free to add other vegetables like bell peppers or celery to customize your borscht. If you prefer a smoother soup, you can partially blend the borscht using an immersion blender before serving. Borscht tastes even better the next day, as the flavors have more time to meld together. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
