Was it pretty good? Is it tomato soup with beets and cabbage in it?
I find no distinction between Russian or Ukrainian Borscht.
Some folks use beef...but pork is cheaper.
Doesn't taste one bit like tomato soup.
No,
It is beets (beets make Borscht!) with other stuff.
Cabbage and tomato, onion and carrots, potato, sour cream, whipping cream, stock, leftover meats and sausages.
Basically beets with everything you may find in the house.
The Ukrainian is by far the richest, the Polish and Jewish is clean. Russian somewhere in between.
Recipes vary form region to region, from household to household and really by what happens to be in the pantry/fridge right now.
Spicy beet. Clear.
