Борщ-/Borsch/- a beetroot soup
I continue culinary topic this week. I would like to introduce one more dish which is widely spread in Russia and Ukraine. This is borsch, or beetroot soup traditionally served with sour cream. The etymology of the word borsch goes back to the hogweed plant which is pronounced in Russian as "borschevik" and which leaves were applied to prepare a soup. Evidently that's why this soup got such a name, borsch. Beetroot soup among numerous dishes is the one you should definitely try during your
Moscow city break. Ask your
Moscow tour guide the best place to taste it.
