Combine all ingredients except shredded beets in a blender. Blend on high until creamy and smooth. You may need to help stir it if you do not have a strong blender(A vitamix is best!).
Borsht can be served hot or cold. If you prefer it hot, place the blender mix in a pot and warm it on the stove on low(If you have a vitamix, it will warm by keeping it blending on high for 5 minutes). Stir the shredded beets into the hot or cold mixture and serve. You can garnish with strips of fresh chives.
Borsht is a traditional Russian specialty. It is a very tasty soup which is loaded with powerful cancer fighting antioxidants.
