borscht
Red Slavic soup
Borscht is a beet soup from Eastern Europe, particularly associated with Ukrainian and Russian cuisine.
The deep red broth typically contains cabbage, potatoes, and meat, served hot or cold with a dollop of sour cream.
We had borscht and black bread for lunch.
The Borscht Belt was a region of Jewish resort hotels in New York's Catskill Mountains, named for the soup commonly served there.
