Definice a Význam "borscht"

What is "borscht"?

Borscht is a traditional Eastern European soup that is made from beets, vegetables, and sometimes meat or sausage. The soup's distinctive bright red color comes from the beets, which are boiled and then pureed to create a thick, hearty base. Other ingredients in borscht may include carrots, onions, potatoes, cabbage, and garlic, as well as dill, sour cream, and vinegar or lemon juice for added flavor. While vegetarian borscht is common, meat or sausage is often added for a heartier version. Borscht is typically served hot and may be accompanied by a slice of bread or a dollop of sour cream. It is a staple dish in many Eastern European countries, and it is often considered a comfort food.
