borsch
Red Ukrainian soup
Borsch is a beet soup that originated in Eastern Europe, particularly associated with Ukrainian and Russian cuisines.
The soup gets its distinctive deep red color from beets, though recipes vary widely and may include cabbage, potatoes, meat, and other vegetables.
It is traditionally served with a dollop of sour cream.
Spellings vary: borscht, borsh, and bortsch are all common transliterations from Cyrillic.
