Dear Matt,
I hope you are well. In your last email, you asked me about a traditional dish in my country.
I would like to tell you about *borscht*. It is a famous traditional soup in Russia. Borscht is made from beetroot, which gives the soup its bright red colour, as well as meat, cabbage, potatoes, and carrots. To cook it, we boil the meat and then simmer all the chopped vegetables together in a large pot.
It tastes warm, rich, and slightly sweet and sour. We usually serve it hot with a spoonful of sour cream and fresh herbs on top.
Write back soon!
Best wishes,
Ivan
