Apparently, being pregnant with this kind of sickness, plus being traumatized by Ethan’s hunger strike are not tough enough to knock me down. Cause we’ve just bought a house……means God is going to manipulate my empty soul so I could start packing and moving.
Ingredients (serves 6-8):
1 lb beef shin, cut into large pieces
6 carrots, peeled and cut into large pieces
4 tomatoes, cut into wedges
2 onion, cut into slices
2 cups diced celery
1/2 cabbage, thickly sliced
5 cups beef broth
5 cups water (or more to cover the vegetables when cooking)
1/2 cup tomato paste
2 bay leaves
1 tablespoon dried basil
1 teaspoon paprika
2 tablespoons freshly ground pepper
2 large potatoes, peeled and cut into 1/2″ cubes
3 tablespoons brown sugar
2 tablespoons white wine vinegar
salt to taste
Directions:
Boil the beef shin for 10 minutes. Rinse it under cold water and drain it well.
In a large pot, put in beef and all remaining ingredients, except potatoes, brown sugar, white wine vinegar and salt. Boil for 20 minutes. Reduce heat to low, and simmer for 1 1/2 hours, until beef is tender.
Add potatoes, and cook until tender, around 15 minutes.
Stir in brown sugar and vinegar. Taste to adjust the sweet and sour balance. Season with salt before serving.

Double happiness is right!!! Soup is always good. =)
Congratulations! Really double happiness. Love Borscht soup and this looks comforting.
You are both blessed and so fortunate. Congratulations on both accounts. I hope your sickness subsides soon so you can enjoy your new experiences =)
My Mom used to make soup similar to this. Lotsa healthy goodness in this bowl of soup!
Soup luks very inviting, hearty bowl of goodness.

Congras dear! Drink more soup. It is good for both of you :)
This looks so enticing!
This is just the sort of soup to fill you with energy and goodness!
Look at it this way…you're getting everything out of the way all at one time. I know, that's easy for me to say while I sit here and type this, but Congratulations all the way around!
Lululu, you have a lot going on in your life now. But you manage to make time for a great looking dish. This soup reminds me of the soup my dad made when I was young. It was delicious and hearty. But yours added a few more spice in it too. It sounds really yummy with the bay leaves, basil, and paprika
Congratulations! Yummy soup!
This stew looks quite comforting. I've heard from friends that it's been a particularly cold start to the year on the west coast. I hope you're well.
Congrats on all counts – I would be thrilled but probably only because I'm not going through it ;) Wishing you lots of energy and a very short run of the usual dicomforts. Btw, that is a gorgeous shot – I have bowls just like that one!
Lululu take care of yourself, OK! You need lots of rest. Btw, congrats on your new house! Looking forward to see it soon. Have a lovely weekend ya!
Cheers, Kristy
looks like this soup will give you energy to do EVERYTHING. ;-)
congrats on your home purchase. ;-)

why need to add vinegar lei?
南方舞廳, I added vinegar for the slight sour flavor. This is only applicable to Chinese style soup. It might not be necessary for typical western borscht soup.
My dad would make this for me all the time, I LOVE this stuff. It's even good cold, does that make me weird? Anyways, beautiful recipe lululu I will have to make some soon!
