For a richer flavor, brown the beef bones in the pot before adding water. Adjust the amount of water depending on your desired soup consistency. Feel free to add other vegetables like beets or parsnips to customize your borscht. A splash of vinegar or lemon juice can brighten the flavors at the end of cooking. This soup tastes even better the next day, after the flavors have had a chance to meld.
