Borsht : The soup of the soviets

история

Borsht has a long history...
The story of an iconic Soviet Dish

Borscht is a hearty, traditional soup popular in several Eastern European cuisines, including Ukrainian, Russian, Polish, Belarusian, Latvian, Lithuanian, Romanian, and Ashkenazi Jewish cuisines. The variety most commonly associated with the name in English is of Ukrainian origin and includes beetroots as one of the main ingredients, which gives the dish a distinctive red color. It shares the name, however, with a wide selection of soups without beetroots, such as Russian sorrel-based green borscht and cabbage borscht, and Polish rye-based white borscht.

It is full of beneficial ingredients, vitamins and minerals and has warmed the soul of the Soviet peoples for centuries.
