Have you ever heard of green borscht,Instead of being the ruby-red kind with beets, this one is all about sorrel, greens, and comfort, which makes it a completely different experience. It’s the kind of soup that sneaks up on you because one spoonful suddenly takes you back to grandma’s kitchen while you’re surrounded by springtime memories.

I made this last weekend since the weather couldn’t decide what it wanted to be it was sunny at first, then chilly, and then sunny again so soup felt just right. Moreover, my kid declared spinach “suspicious,” yet sorrel “tastes like sour magic,” so I gladly took that win.

Green borscht tends to be weirdly underrated even though it’s tangy and a little earthy while still being super light, and at the same time, it fills you up in that “I might nap now” kinda way.

We also toss in hard-boiled eggs which are optional yet not really along with potatoes, and sometimes we add a dollop of sour cream whenever we feel a bit wild.

So, have you tried it yet I

Ingredients :

• 1 bunch fresh spinach, chopped
• 1 bunch sorrel “or substitute with more spinach”, chopped
• 2 medium potatoes, peeled and diced
• 1 carrot, diced
• 1 small onion, finely chopped
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 4 cups vegetable or chicken broth
• 1 tablespoon butter or oil
• 1 teaspoon salt “adjust to taste”
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 teaspoon lemon juice or vinegar
• Fresh dill or parsley, chopped, for garnish
• Sour cream or plain yogurt, for serving

How to Make Green Borscht :

Step 1

First heat butter or oil in a large pot over medium heat: add onions and garlic, sautéing until soft and fragrant, about 3-4 minutes. This step releases the flavors and forms the base of your soup and add diced carrots and potatoes to the pot. Stir and cook for 2-3 minutes to lightly coat the vegetables with the buttery onion mixture.

Step 2

Pour in the broth and bring to a boil: reduce the heat and simmer for 10-12 minutes, or until the potatoes and carrots are tender. Simmering gently ensures the vegetables cook evenly without losing their color or nutrients then add the chopped spinach and sorrel. Stir and simmer for another 3-5 minutes until the greens are wilted and tender. Be careful not to overcook, as you want the greens to remain vibrant.

Step 3

Season the soup with salt, pepper, and lemon juice or vinegar. Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed to balance the flavors and finally serve hot, garnished with chopped dill or parsley, and a dollop of sour cream or yogurt for extra creaminess.
