Borscht is a vegetable soup, a traditional dish of Russia, usually including beet roots, which give it a strong red color. However other non-beet varieties exist, such as the tomato paste-based orange borscht and the sorrel-based green borscht. There are two main variants of borscht, referred to as hot and cold, both based on beets, but are otherwise prepared and served differently.
awesome picture! actually, meet (mostly beef) is often the central part of borscht
