Beetroot soup, also known as borscht in Eastern European cuisine, is a vibrant dish made primarily from beets, which give it its rich, deep red color. Common ingredients include onions, carrots, potatoes, garlic, and sometimes cabbage, with variations adding meat or being kept vegetarian. Often seasoned with dill and a splash of vinegar, it's traditionally served with a dollop of sour cream. Beets are packed with nutrients, including folate, manganese, potassium, and antioxidants, making this soup heart-healthy and beneficial for lowering blood pressure. Its fiber content supports digestion, while vitamins like C and iron boost immunity and energy. However, if prepared with added cream or large amounts of salt, the calorie and sodium levels can increase. A light, wholesome option when made thoughtfully, beetroot soup is not only delicious but also a nutritious nod to cultural heritage.
