Ingredients:

Serving

2 tbsp cooking oil
1 onion, chopped
2 parsnips, peeled and cut into thin slices
1 small celery root (about 3/4 lb), peeled and cut into 1/2-inch chunks
1 turnip, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch chunks
1 3/4 tsp salt
2 cups drained diced canned beets (1 15-oz can)
1 1/2 cups drained diced canned tomatoes (1 15-oz can)
3 1/2 cups canned low-sodium beef broth or homemade stock
3 cups water
1/4 tsp fresh-ground black pepper
1/2 lb kielbasa , halved lengthwise and sliced crosswise
1/3 cup plus 3 tbsp chopped fresh dill
1/4 cup sour cream

Directions:

In a large saucepan, heat the oil over moderately low heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the parsnips, celery root, turnip, and 1 teaspoon of the salt. Cover and cook until the vegetables start to soften, about 5 minutes.
Add the beets, tomatoes, broth, water, the remaining 3/4 teaspoon salt, and the pepper. Bring to a boil. Add the kielbasa. Reduce the heat and simmer, uncovered, until the vegetables are tender, about 15 minutes. Stir in the 1/3 cup dill. Serve topped with the sour cream and the remaining 3 tablespoons dill.
Variation: Instead of the kielbasa, you can use the same amount of Black Forest ham, or any good smoked ham, cut into small chunks. :
Wine Recommendation: California sauvignon blanc has enough intensity of taste to stand up to the borscht, and the subtly herbal nature of its flavor will accentuate the dill nicely.
