Borscht, traditionally known for its vibrant red color (thanks to the beets!), is a soup with a rich history. While variations exist across Eastern Europe, our recipe focuses on a flavorful vegetable-packed version that’s perfect for a cozy night in.

What makes this Veggieful Borscht special?
We’ve streamlined the process to make this soup accessible for everyone, without sacrificing any of the authentic flavor. The combination of sweet beets, savory vegetables, and a touch of apple cider vinegar creates a beautifully balanced and comforting soup. It’s naturally vegan and gluten-free, making it a great option for a variety of dietary needs.
Serving Suggestions:
While delicious on its own, this borscht is even better with a dollop of vegan sour cream (or regular sour cream, if preferred) and a sprinkle of fresh dill. A side of crusty bread for dipping is also highly recommended!
