Description
Beetroot soup with dumplings is a classic Polish dish, whose unique, deep flavor comes from the long cooking of beets, garlic, and aromatic spices. The dumplings, small pastries filled with mushroom filling, add a unique texture to the dish. The soup has an intensely red color and a subtle, slightly sour taste with a delicate hint of sweetness. This traditional dish is often served during Christmas, but it also works perfectly on cooler days.

Tips
Serve the borscht in elegant plates, preferably at a temperature of around 70°C. Decorate the dish with fresh herbs, such as parsley or dill, to add color and aroma. It pairs perfectly with fresh bread or pastries.
Store leftover borscht in an airtight container in the refrigerator, where it can stay fresh for 3-4 days. It's best to freeze the dumplings, and before serving, heat them in hot water for a few minutes.
