2 normal cans of beans (or pre-prepared pinto beans)
2 bullion cubes
3 Tbs salt
2 Tbs sugar

- While cabbage is boiling chop up the potatoes. Add them next to the water (1 ½ inch cubes) add by bullion.
- Grate carrots and beats in separate bolls and chop up the onions into very thin slices.
- Fry the carrots in oil until they’re soft (5 min). Add onions and fry for 10 min, put that in the bowl.
- In the same frying pan put the grated beats in with same oil. Add salt or bullion cube, and 2 Tsp sugar. Cover with a lid and let fry for 10 min, stirring occasionally so it doesn’t burn. To soften the beats quicker, add 3 cups of water from your boiling put.

- Add stuff in the frying pan to the water, put in the parsley, and you have a borsch.
