Freestyle "Borschtsch" (somewhere between polish/russian/pomeranian ;)

gistfile1.txt

with meat:

slices of cheap beef with bones AND marrow, don't cut it!

base:

* carrots, celery, parsley, bay leave, onions, lots of garlic in butter/lard
* slowly cook for an hour or so, keep broth, meat, marrow (!)

cut: 

* beet root, carrots, a potato, onions, cabbage
* my freestyle: couple overripe tomatoes, celery sticks
* lots of garlic
* salt, pepper, a little thyme, 2 spoons vinegar

SLOWLY cook! 2-3 hours is perfectly fine!

topping:

* sour cream, dill (a must imho)

tips:
* beet root should dominate
* a slightly sour taste balances the sweetness of the veggies
* freezes extremely well, so make a lot
