Luo Songtang (Borscht)

Luo Songtang is a kind of soup that can be seen everywhere in eastern European countries such as Russia and Poland, and it is also common in the United States and other western countries. Jews who immigrated from Russia, Poland and other Eastern European countries are the main disseminators of this soup all over the world. An area where Jews live in a relatively concentrated area in the northern suburb of new york was once called Luo Songtang Belt or Luo Songtang Circle. -Borscht is the Jewish way of writing this soup. In Russia, this soup is written as Borsch, which comes from the Russian name of Beet or Parsnip, the main ingredient of this soup.

In addition to beet, other vegetables such as cabbage and potatoes are usually added to Luo Songtang, and some of them also contain meat, which is even more eclectic. This is because this soup was not invented by a great chef. In the past, it was one of the main foods for ordinary people in Russia, so how to make it mainly depends on what is at home. Usually, it reflects that everything is put in. This soup can be drunk hot in winter and used cold in summer. Generally, before eating, Luo Songtang should be decorated with a little foamy sour cream and dill coriander. Sour and sweet is a major feature of a soup.
