Soup with apples.
I want to say that two identical borscht even one of the cooks will not work. Therefore, in Ukraine each hostess your recipe, and even more. The history of this dish began in the X century, it then began to cultivate and consume the beets in Kievan Rus. It was then that the soup was a national dish of the Ukrainians. Among the recipes of borsch in my collection there is one special — with apples and meatballs. About it I’ll tell you.
