A delicious and easy Russian soup with potatoes and spinach. Leftovers keep well in the refrigerator for a day or two. Serve with a dollop of sour cream.

It's delicious! My husband prefers meat so I used homemade chicken broth. Also I added 1/2 lemon at the end:) Read More

I loved green borsch when we lived in Ukraine! I just bought some sorrel seeds so I can make it authentically (instead of spinach). I also love to make it with chicken broth but with no meat. Delicious! Read More

I've been collecting Russian recipes and this one's a keeper because of its simplicity tasty flavor and nutrition. This is a very good soup reminds me of a soup my Russian father used to make. A nice comforting soup good on any day but extra good on a cold or overcast day. It's a "light" soup but I am a "light " eater most days so it is my preference but I'm sure some meat could be added to make it heartier. I've made this soup twice and the only thing I did different the second time was using 10 cups of broth (I used chicken even though I'm sure good veggie broth would be good as well) instead of the water. I also sprinkled dry dill a bit of fresh pepper along with the salt and sour cream dollop just before serving. Yum! Read More
