Borscht

Borscht

It’s basically a soup made with beets that originates from Eastern & Central Europe (Russia, Poland, Ukraine, Romania etc). Borscht was something we had growing up and I can remember eating it from when I was a very wee one. If you love beets then this is right up your ally!

Typically served with a boiled potato and sour cream. I changed mine up a bit by adding a little bit of fresh Ginger to the broth and using a Cashew Sour Cream.
