About this listen

In this episode, we explore the vibrant and hearty Russian borscht—a beet-based soup known for its deep red color and comforting flavor. We cover essential ingredients like beets, cabbage, potatoes, onions, and optional meats like beef or pork, along with aromatics and spices. The episode walks listeners through traditional cooking techniques, including making a flavorful broth, sautéing vegetables separately, and simmering the soup to perfection. We also highlight traditional serving methods: with a generous dollop of sour cream, fresh herbs, and dark rye bread. Borscht is more than a meal—it’s a warm, cultural experience in a bowl.
