Healthy Vegetarian Ukrainian Borscht Recipe

Healthy Vegetarian Ukrainian Borscht. This is a vegetarian version of the classic borscht recipe. This delicious soup is made with plenty of vegetables such as cabbage, beets, chickpeas, carrots and tomatoes. To flavour the borscht, I added caraway seeds, dill, chili peppers and vinegar. To finish the soup, you can add yogurt or sour cream and more fresh dill. Borscht can be served hot or cold and sometimes with a boiled potato and crusty bread

The tradition

In Poland, borscht is typically served at Christmas time, and it is considered the Christmas eve dinner. The red colour comes from the beetroot, and the broth is clear and always vegetarian. Borscht originated in Ukraine and is most common in Eastern Europe. There are many versions of this soup, depending on your tradition. Some have meat and or potatoes and pickled beets. All in all, this is a healthy soup packed with nutrients and a lot of flavours. If you are searching for holiday recipes, check out these gluten-free Christmas recipes
