Borscht with sorrel and egg
Description
The soup is simple and quick to prepare. This borscht recipe will delight you not only with its taste but also with its health benefits. It's one of the most popular dishes during the spring and summer season. You can cook the soup using broth made from any meat, or even vegetable broth, or just water—either way, it will turn out delicious and aromatic. Today, I'll be using pork to make the soup more nourishing and rich. This version will surely be appreciated by all men. The eggs in green borscht have their own special role. Some people chop them into pieces and add them to the pot at the end of cooking, while others place attractive halved eggs into individual serving bowls. There are also versions with soft-scrambled eggs that spread into curly flakes in the boiling soup. I suggest dicing the boiled eggs into cubes and adding them directly to the serving bowl just before serving, garnishing them with fresh herbs. This borscht is eaten with great appetite and enjoyment. Give it a try. The soup is ready to serve.
