Borscht

Borscht is ubiquitous in Eastern European countries such as Russia and Poland. A soup that is also common in the United States and other Western countries. Jews who immigrated from Eastern European countries such as Russia and Poland were the main spreaders of this soup around the world. An area in the northern suburbs of New York City where Jews lived in a relatively concentrated area was once called the Borscht Belt or Borscht Circle. . Borscht is the Jewish word for this soup, and in Russia it is written Borsch, which comes from the Russian name for beet (Beet or Parsnip), the main ingredient of this soup - Borsch.

In addition to the main ingredient beet, borscht usually also contains other vegetables such as cabbage and potatoes, and some also contain meat, and its preparation is even more eclectic. This is because this kind of soup was not invented by a great chef. In the past, it was one of the main foods for ordinary people in Russia, so how to make it mainly depends on what is available at home. Usually, it reflects that everything is put in. This soup can be drunk hot in winter or cold in summer. The borscht is usually topped with a little foamy sour cream and dill coriander before eating. Sour and sweet are the characteristics of Zhong Geng Soup.
