Borscht

Borscht is a traditional Eastern European soup, most famously associated with Ukraine. It is made primarily from beets, which give it a vibrant red color and a sweet, earthy flavor. The soup often includes ingredients like cabbage, potatoes, carrots, onions, and sometimes tomatoes, with variations that may contain beans or meat. Borscht is typically served hot, topped with sour cream, which adds creaminess and tang. It’s valued for its hearty, nourishing qualities and cultural significance, often enjoyed as comfort food or during festive occasions across Eastern Europe.
