Borsch recipe

Borsch is a kind of soup, a dish from Ukrainian kitchen. They say, "Woman who is able to cook borsch, is gonna be loved" :)
I wanna show you my recipe variant for this dish. It's super simple and super tasty as well!

For cooking borsch you need:
1 beet of medium size                                                                                                                                
6 potatos of medium size
1 big carrot
onion
some of cabbage
some of meat with meat bouillon
Amount of ingredients depends on your casserole capacity, i used the one i told about in this post.

My simple meatless pickle soup

Pickle soup is a dish from a Russian kitchen, very delicious in my opinion! It differes from an ordinary vegetable soup in using pickled cucumbers and pickle itself and groats. Let me tell you how i've cooked it recenty.

All you need is:

200 g of pickled cucumbers
200 g of pickle
big carrot
onion
potatos
200 g of pearl barley

Put a casserole with water on fire. Chop onion and rub a carrot on a grater and put them to the hot pan, make fire less and mix time after time. 

Chop cucumbers into pieces, put them into a hot pan with some water, stew it.

Put pearl barley into boiled water, chop potatos into pieces and put them into a casserole as well. Through about 15 mins put both pans contents into a casserole and add pickle. Add spices and salt if needed. Through 3-5 mins soup is ready!

It's best with feeding with sour cream!

Bon appetit!

P.S. Traditionally, pickle soup is cooked with meat, but this is my vegetarian variant for the fasting.
