  17. Turn the heat off and put soup back on the hour for slow cooling. During this hour all tastes will penetrate each other and compose together.

After an hour the borscht is ready to be served. You should again heat it. Notice that the Ukrainian borscht is cooked on the meat bouillon, but without the meat. Into every plate we put the portion of the beef cooked earlier, then we pour the Ukrainian borscht. Next put with the spoon a portion of the sour cream into every plate. Don't mix the cream with the borscht. Sprinkle the borscht with the shredded dill or the parsley leaves.
