Poltava Borscht with Dumplings
Description
The soup is easy and quick to prepare. Instead of chicken, you can use any other meat. Beef on the bone or pork work great. Many home cooks also make borscht with ribs, although this makes the soup richer and more caloric. To check, ladle into bowls and serve.
