Description
Deep red, crowned by a blob of sour cream: Borschtsch impresses with strong colors and hearty taste thanks to beetroots and fried bacon cubes. This soup not only provides a decent amount of nutrients and fiber. It also warms body and soul on cold days. Borschtsch is a dish that provides a satisfying meal in summer too - without being heavy on the stomach.
This soup is popular throughout Eastern Europe and is considered a Slavic national dish. Borschtsch is often served as a starter in Russia and its native Ukraine. The bacon, however, makes the soup so rich in energy that it is also suitable as a light main course. His name refers to a plant called Barszcz, the bear claw. Borschtsch used to be green like Barszcz, not red like beetroot.
