First of all - a Ukrainian national dish. It has many varieties. Each region of the country is prepared differently (with mushrooms, prunes, apples, dumplings, garlic).
Each owner also has its own unique recipe for this dish.
But always - soup - a son of the dish. Prepared in meat broth, sometimes with bacon (fried bacon grinded with garlic).
My mother and grandmother also prepare this dish. However, the color of my mother's soup is not as red as I like and it is rare.
My father also prepares delicious red and thick borsch, but it is it is very greasy.
I follow up on my diet and figure.
