Beetroot Soup (Borscht)

Borscht is Ukraine's national soup, a deep magenta bowl that tastes like soil and sweetness. The beetroot's earthiness anchors everything here, while fresh dill cuts through with its sharp anise notes, preventing the dish from becoming heavy. Using a chicken stock cube instead of vegetable stock adds umami depth that mirrors how home cooks across Eastern Europe have long built flavor, making this version practical without sacrificing authenticity.
