Beet Soup- Barszcz Czerwony

Beet soup also known as Barszcz Czerwony is an authentic Polish soup made from beets with a see through consistency which can be served in bowls or in mugs to drink.

Eating Barszcz makes me happy and I’ve eaten it my entire life. The color is beautiful, the scent is aromatic and the soup warms me to my Polish core. My favorite time to eat this soup is on Christmas Eve with potato & cheese perogies.

8 cups bone or vegetable broth- see links below on website
2 cloves of garlic- peeled
1 tbsp apple cider vinegar, or white vinegar
