If you google, you’ll be told it is originally Ukrainian. But I think it’s more of a Slavic soup, particularly Slavs that populated ancient Russia/Ukraine/Belorussia territory.” So fascinating!

Oh wow- I had NO idea! I thought it had to be made with beetroot. No matter what, it is delicious:). What does the word “borscht” mean?

There are MANY versions of borscht. Can’t really say anymore where this soup is originally from. My paternal grandma makes it differently – she is half Polish, half Belorussian. I learned from my mom. In many restaurants it is made with tomato paste, without beetroot and the taste is completely different. Some make it really spicy. Occasionally we add spicy capsicum to give it a little tongue-biting spice 🙂

I am realizing that the borscht I’ve had must have been the Polish version, because it was always strained- as thin as a broth. Either way sounds delicious, but I can’t wait to try this new way!

I agree!!! I never knew what was inside borscht (except the obvious beets!). I can’t wait to make this on a cold day…
