This dish is a well-spiced soup prepared with beets and stock, and it comprises a medley of different vegetables. It is also known as borscht and is often spelled as such.
Originating from Russian and Polish cuisine, there exists a type of soup that was traditionally crafted using duck meat, alongside beets and various other meats. In contemporary times, however, the duck is often omitted from the recipe. This soup may be served either hot or cold, depending on personal preference.
