Traditional Don borscht is a bright, rich dish embodying the spirit of Russian cuisine. Its history roots in the Cossack traditions of the Don, where it was considered a symbol of hospitality and abundance. Borscht has a rich flavor that harmoniously intertwines the sweetness of beets, the spiciness of garlic, and the heat of pepper, while lemon juice adds a light tang. The broth made from pork gives depth and richness to the dish, while vegetables provide a rich texture. Dill completes the composition with fresh aromas. It is recommended to serve borscht with sour cream, which softens its flavor nuances. This is an ideal dish for family lunches that warms the soul and brings people together at the table.

Do you know that the correct way to say is: "Pour" borscht? This time I tried so hard that my husband asked: "Where is the liquid?", although he loves ultra-thick borscht)) And in order to pour it, it must be thick and rich. But, as you know, there are as many borscht options as there are housewives, and from the type of meat to the amount of vegetables and the method of preparation. For example, in my poor student years, I cooked borscht on chicken legs, and nothing - delicious! Borscht is generally one of the cheapest soups, which can even be made vegetarian. The amount of vegetables can be any, depending on the size of the pan and, in fact, the vegetables themselves. For example, I always take the smallest head of cabbage that is in the store. You can not fry the vegetables at all and get a wonderful color and taste. In general, experiment, and everything will work out! The only thing you need to strive for is to make the color brighter and more beautiful. And I'm still trying.

The recipe is taken from the book "The North Warms" by Rashid Rakhmanov, published by "Eksmo". "Mushrooms have always had a place of honor in Russian national cuisine. They occupied it not only on the peasant's table, but also on the royal table. Salted mushrooms were especially prized - aromatic milk mushrooms and saffron milk caps smelling of fresh pine needles. Soups were cooked from mushrooms, they were added to cabbage soup. Pies with mushrooms were also very popular. Gubnitsa is a mushroom soup, gribovnitsa. The soup got this name because in the Vyatka region, as well as in the Russian North in general, mushrooms were called lips. They say that the birthplace of gubnitsa is Vyatka, and this soup was first cooked in the northern part of the Vyatka province. In the traditional version, the soup is cooked from porcini mushrooms, aspen mushrooms and birch boletes. You can cook it from frozen mixtures, but nothing compares to the taste of fresh seasonal mushrooms. So as soon as you see grandmothers offering to buy these mushrooms at the end of summer and beginning of autumn, be sure to take advantage of the moment and prepare a real Vyatka Gubnitsa
