Pure red borscht is one of the most popular soups that often appears on Polish tables. It is not only extremely tasty, but also healthy.

What to add to borscht? Delicious additions that will delight you with their taste
When preparing borscht for Christmas, it is worth starting a little earlier so that it gains strength and a unique, deep flavor. Especially if you want to use homemade beet leaven. Thanks to this, it will be exceptionally delicious and will certainly disappear from the table in no time. In the Christmas version, we usually serve it with dumplings with cabbage and mushrooms. What can be served instead? It turns out that the choice is really large and still extremely tasty.
What do we add to borscht on Christmas Eve? Most often, these are ears, but not exclusively
As we mentioned earlier, the most popular addition to red are ears. In the Christmas version – with cabbage and mushrooms, and for everyday use also with meat. Less often, but still, it is served with dumplings (both boiled and fried) or patties with a similar filling. Thanks to such additions, the soup gains an even deeper flavor and is more filling.
As for red borscht instead of dumplings? Savory pancakes will be a delicious addition
A popular addition to borscht, or rather a dish for which borscht is sometimes an accompaniment, are croquettes. These are nothing more than fried pancakes wrapped in tasty stuffing, then coated in flour, egg and breadcrumbs and fried again. We can put previously prepared and baked meat, mushrooms with yellow cheese or traditionally cabbage with mushrooms inside.
What can you serve red borscht with? Choose an unusual accessory
In addition to flour products, you can also add a simply boiled and halved egg or white beans, e.g. jaś, to pure red borscht. First soak it, then boil it in water with salt and sugar and add it directly to the soup. It will delight you with its savory taste.
