Borsch & Solyanka

Borsch is a soup of the Eastern Europe --- Ukraine and Russia. It is more often known as the vegetable soup nowadays. There are several types of Borsch---green/red. It is often served with sour cream. The locals also eat it with bread (normally he black bread).

It is originally boiled with beetroots that provide the reddish colour of the soup and you will find carrots, potatoes, cabbage within. And to provide the sweetness of the soup, it is often boiled with meat. Visit http://www.recipezaar.com/81117 for the recipe.

Solyanka is the Ukrainian/Russian soup which is thicker and richer in flavour. In Ukraine, the meat/fish Solyanka is rather popular. It is often sold more expensive compared to Borsch, because of the meat or fish. In the soup,we can find pickled cucumber, olives, sometimes lemon pieces (especially if it is fish Solyanka). The taste is slightly sour. And it is also taken with bread and sour cream. For the recipe, visit http://loykee.blogspot.com/2005/02/solyanka.html
