  • About

Barszcz is one of Poland’smost iconic and popular soups – a proud national treasure. Ukrainians, Russians and Poles have claimed and debated its origin for millennia. There are literally hundreds of versions, with each region, town, and village having its own favorite. But that doesn’t really matter because it’s the goodness that is most important. The flavor of Barszcz is best when prepared with fresh beets and a good-quality broth. Barszcz can vary in consistency. Lig
