❤️💜 How to Make Vegetarian Borscht at 4 AM 🌕🌌

Meowdy! 😺 Thank you for checking out this delicious eastern European soup, great for winter or any chilly day! ❄️

Times are tough, but I was given some beets and such by a local food pantry! I based mine off this recipe here: https://www.seriouseats.com/dinner-to...

If you need more protein, a good solution I've seen is to serve with boiled eggs.

🧠 It's good to be resourceful when you can. ✊ =^w^=

"Borscht, a traditional Eastern European soup made from beets, can have a variety of seasonings depending on the regional recipe and personal preferences. Here are some common seasonings and ingredients used in borscht:Common Seasonings: Dill: Fresh or dried dill is one of the most common herbs used in borscht, adding a bright, slightly tangy flavor. Bay Leaves: Often used during cooking to add depth and a subtle herbal note to the broth. Garlic: Adds a pungent, savory flavor that complements the sweetness of the beets. Vinegar or Lemon Juice: Used to balance the sweetness of the beets with acidity, creating a more complex flavor profile. Sugar: Sometimes added in small amounts to enhance the natural sweetness of the beets. Salt and Pepper: Essential for seasoning and balancing the flavors. Parsley: Fresh parsley is often added at the end for a fresh, herbal finish. Caraway Seeds: Less common, but sometimes used for a hint of anise-like flavor.
