Here is a very delicious beetroot soup recipe. Beetroot soup is something you do not see all that often, but it is a very tasty, interesting soup. It is known as borscht in Russian and Polish cuisines. The sour cream should be added just before the soup is eaten, therefore it is dished up separately for each diner to add to his or her soup. They can then also experience the visual thrill of watching the colors blend.
