This classic beef and beetroot borscht is a vibrant, high-protein soup that offers a beautiful balance of earthy sweetness and savoury depth. Traditional in Eastern Europe, this version uses a bone-in beef shank to create a rich, nutritious base, while the addition of fresh beetroot and carrots provides a wonderful colour and texture. It is a comforting, homemade dish that feels both indulgent and wholesome, perfect for a warming lunch or a light dinner during the colder months.
Packed with vitamins from the savoy cabbage and potatoes, this hearty soup is an excellent choice for those seeking a filling, protein-rich meal. The tang of red wine vinegar and the freshness of dill cut through the richness of the beef, while a spoonful of yogurt adds a creamy finish. Serve this soup with a slice of dark rye bread for a complete and satisfying experience that the whole family will enjoy.
