Borscht is a super wholesome soup with modest origins in Eastern Europe where it is often prepared as a hearty warm soup in the winter or simply as a cooled thin broth to drink in the summer.
This soup is claimed by so many ethnic groups, especially Ukrainians, Russians, Poles, Lithuanians and Ashkenazi Jews, as their own national or ethnic dish. None of such claims can be proven invalid, as the dishes history actually predates the emergence in Eastern Europe's modern nation states with their ever-shifting border.
Let's just agree that Borscht is perfectly suited to a globalist culture, a cuisine with variants so numerous with varieties so diverse that it is sometimes impossible for a non-specialist to grasp that any single example of this dish is something that is part of a unified tradition. In the spirit of this idea, we at Wholesome Linen present to you a recipe so simple that even a baby would remember the taste for the rest of their life. We wanted to get started by explaining how each separate ingredient possesses its own benefit, especially in the early development of your baby's digestive palette.
