      You could halve the onion and let it soak in some water for a few minutes..It does reduce the tearing effect to some extent.

    Your recipe is a very elegant way to serve one of the most delicious soups. It use to be my mother's too.
    To those that are asking about cabbage and meet or something else, or addressing your recipe with criticism; please, be kind, show some civism and education, especially, respect for another woman in this planet.
    Be grateful that you are just a few that God himself has given the privilege of having this wonderful Borsch Soup. Millions of people in the world have to look for food in the trash can, and they treasure their findings.
    Dear Natasha Madam, May the sun shine warm upon your face; the rains fall soft upon your fields and until we meet again, may God hold you in the palm of His hand. "May the wind be always at your back."

    Tip for chopping onions without tears. Very sharp quality knife. Many people make the mistake of thinking their knives need only to be sharpened after a couple of few uses. No. They should be sharpened before every use. Every use. And to a sharp, razor's edge too. If you do this regularly, then you will start to notice you need to apply very subtle pressure to cut and slice. The severed edges of your onion remain firm and don't get torn and mashed to release their eye stinging oils.

    To chop onions without crying, you can freeze them for a few minutes beforehand. I don’t particularly like this method, but if it doesn’t bother you, it works.
    Keep you knife VERY SHARP. Give your knife a few passes on a sharpening steel before cutting an onion. If your knife needs a real sharpening (the steel doesn’t exactly sharpen a blade, it just smooths it), then keep some sharpening stones in the kitchen. A dull knife will crush the onion’s cells and explode them, sending the toxic aroma everywhere, including into your eyes. A sharp knife will slice through them and make less of a problem.
    Other than that, here’s how to cut onions without crying:
    Leave the root on. If you cut the root off, the onion bleeds rapidly and irritates your eyes. This is why so many people have a hard time cutting onions. They think “I’m not going to eat the root, so I’ll just cut it off” and then the onion punishes the poor victim with a ruthless assault on the eyes having no consideration for their ignorance.
    Cut the onion straight in half and put the cut side of each half down right away.
    Rinse the cut-exposed onion under cold water for a few seconds and give it a sort of scrubbing with your thumbs. It should start to lose a little slippery-ness.
    Pull the skin off of the onion and cut off the onion’s spiky hairdo. Don’t do this before or it’s a pain sometimes.
    On the sides of the onion, still placed cut side down, cut strips to your desired fineness completely through and move in towards the center where the root is still intact. Stop once you reach the root and repeat this on the other side.
    Press those two sides together and give them one cut all the way through with the flat of the knife level to the board. Chop it perpendicular to your desired fineness.
    When cutting the center of the onion, cut strips across the onion to the desired fineness. Get as close to the root as you can without slicing through it. It can be seen distinctly from the onion itself where the root ends and the onion begins. Then chop it perpendicular to desired fineness. Continue until you reach the root still being careful not to cut it.
    Discard the root and look tear-free at your beautifully chopped onions.
    Here’s even a third method if you’re feeling adventurous. You can cut the root off right away, you just need to cut it out on a cone shape. Stab your knife into the onion a few millimeters from the root. Try to angle the knife almost like you’re trying to stab through to its hairdo. Then twist the onion around the knife cutting the root out on a cone. If you removed the whole thing in one piece, it won’t irritate your eyes as much. If you stabbed the root, it will. This method is a bit difficult to do properly because as said earlier, you can see the root when the onion is cut in half, but with this method you’re working completely blind. Then just cut as described above.

      @@Natashaskitchen I’m from Ukraine originally and we have a family recipe that Most of the Dnipro region makes pretty much the same way. Meaning, we can go to our neighbors house for borsch and it will taste very similar. Back in the day Borscht was made to serve Ukrainian Soldiers (Kazakhs) as they battled, so this soup traveled through Europe and the recipe slowly morphed into something different for every country it passed through. Sort of like a broken phone effect. So every country in Europe has their own way of making it. I bet if I went to Poland and tried to make my borscht they wouldn’t like it as much as the one they grew up eating. To each his own. However the most important ingredient in Borscht is cabbage girl! It ain’t a borscht without it, it’s just plain ole beet soup. Please try adding it to your borsch next time you cook, I’m telling you, it is life changing! :) Also try using tomato paste instead of ketchup. And if you do, please post a comment and let me know what you think. P.s. I love how upbeat and fun you are in your videos. You have a great personality, keep it up!

    There's no "t" at the end of "borsch" lol. Other than that, looks delicious. You can also use the stems and leaves off of the beets to add to the flavor. Also instead of grating/mincing the beets you can just dice them. And instead of ketchup, I would just de-seed the tomatoes and dice them. It'll taste much better with fresh tomatoes as well as fresh carrots (instead of bell peppers and beans). Sautéed for 15 min or after the onions are caramelized. As for the seasoning I just use fresh dill weed, Italian parsley, bay leaves (put in 15 min before it's done), peppercorns, and salt to taste. Glad to see that sourcream at the end!

    I know i am late but I use a swimming Googles to prevent my eyes fron burning when i am cutting the onions. The reason why your eyes burn is because the onion produces a mild sulfuric acid and it evaporate to the yes then our eyes detects it and washes it away using its tears gland so i put a swimming glasses as it stick to my skin around my eyes it will not prevent all the sulfuric acid but your burning sensation will be less.

    How to prevent tears when cutting onions. That's easy. You can keep a lit candle near you while chopping. The smoke from the candle neutralizes the gasses from the chopped onions. The late James Barber mentioned that when he used to host the cooking show: The Urban Peasant.
    Here's some advice about cutting onions. Cut them when you have a cold or the flu. I used to work at Burger King and when I had to cut onions for my prep work when I also had a cold, I found that they not only make you teary-eyed, they also clear your nasal passages. A way to clear a stuffy nose when you're sick. Try it sometime. It works.

Вот другой салат. Берем один большой баклажан и нарезаем его соломкой, затем обжариваем в подсолнечном масле, четыре вареных яйца так же нарезаем соломкой, добавляем маринованный лук, соль и заправляем майонезом.
