Russian Borscht

What is it/what ingredients does it usually have?

Beets, meat, potato, and some other stuff in my family's borsch. Pretty sure there's a pretty typical recipe with only minor variations across families.

Ingredients
2 medium carrots
2 medium potatoes
1 tomato
1 head of garlic
1 onion
1 head of white cabbage
4 beetroots
1 kg (about 2 lbs.) of beef ribs (leave out meat for vegetarians)
1 liter. (about 4 cups) of water with 2 cubes of beef bullion (or 4 cups of prepared beef or vegetable stock)
Instructions
Boil water with 2 cubes of stock - set aside
Place the ribs into a large pot with 1 liter (about 4 cups) boiling water to cook
Prepare all the vegetables. Cut the potatoes and tomato into cubes, grate the carrots, cut the onion with garlic and beetroot. Cut the cabbage into strips .
Fry onions, garlic and carrots together. Add salt and pepper
Add vegetables to the soup, first add cabbage, then beetroot, carrots, onions and garlic and mix. Add more salt and pepper.
Boil for 20 min and then add potatoes and tomato
Boil for another 10 min on medium heat and serve.

So it's basically a stew you do with whatever's avaiable?
