Although a borscht pizza Instapot recipe may be the new kid on the block, the classic borscht soup is no stranger. A comforting and healthy way to warm up your day, this borscht pizza is no exception. And it doesn’t deviate too far from this wonderfully well-known staple. Beets, potatoes, onions, celery, garlic and carrots. Let’s root, root, root for the home team because this pizza is a home run.
Something magical happens when all these root vegetables get together and how easy it is in an Instapot (but don’t worry a good ol’ fashioned pot works great too!) But we all know borschts secret weapon, well actually it’s not even a secret now, it’s a necessity. And that my friends is the creamy and tangy addition of sour cream, and don’t forget the beautiful pickle flavor booming from the fresh dill. What a pizza, who knew it would work, we certainly did not.. but we’re glad it did!
