40 minutes
Hot beetroot soup with sour cream is a fragrant and rich dish rooted in Russian culinary tradition. Unlike the cold version, it warms and satisfies hunger, especially in cold weather. The base of the dish is chicken broth, which adds depth of flavor, while beetroot gives it a characteristic sweet-earthy note. The slight acidity of lemon juice and tomato paste harmonizes with the delicate taste of potatoes, onions, and fresh herbs. Garnished with parsley and dill, it pleases the eye and whets the appetite. Serving it with sour cream makes it even softer and velvety. This soup is not only delicious but also healthy due to its richness in vitamins and minerals. An ideal choice for a family lunch or cozy dinner.
