Cold borscht

Cold borscht

Cold borscht (borshch) or Cold beet soup (Lithuanian: Šaltibarščiai, Polish: Chłodnik or Chłodnik litewski, Russian: Kholodnik) is a soup traditional to the Belarusian, Lithuanian, Polish, Ukrainian and Russian cuisines, a variety of borscht. Its name is derived from the fact that the soup is served cold.

Its preparation starts with young beets being chopped and boiled together with their leaves. After cooling them down, the soup is usually mixed with soured milk, kefir or yoghurt (depending on regional preferences). Typically, raw chopped vegetables such as radishes or cucumbers are added and the soup is garnished and flavored with dill or parsley. Chopped, hard-boiled eggs are often added. The soup has a rich pink color which varies in intensity depending on the ratio of beets to dairy ingredients.
