Borscht with pumpkin

Description

Hearty and aromatic soup. During cooking, the pumpkin absorbs all the dish's flavors and doesn't stand out in taste at all, but adds a special touch to the borscht. If you've never cooked such borscht before, I highly recommend giving it a try. It turns out very delicious! You can use either water or any meat broth for cooking. Today I have a lighter version made with chicken broth. Serve the soup hot.
