Green borscht
Green borscht is a seasonal version of borscht that is made with fresh sorrel, which gives the soup a characteristic sour taste and bright green color. The composition also includes potatoes, carrots, onions, sometimes beets, boiled eggs and sour cream. Borscht is especially popular in spring and summer when sorrel is the freshest and most juicy. Served hot or cold with sour cream and herbs.
