Borscht is overrated. There are better soups that are easier and faster to make. The only thing better about borscht is it's PR department

Honestly, shchi is better but it is often surprisingly tough to find at times at commercial locations.

Anyone in the presence of ukha simmering away knows that it should be classified as a chemical weapon on par with sarin.

That's the only allowed in way to make it. You find the biggest pot you have in the house and fill it until the brim.

Rassolnik can be good, but the cheap version you get like at university canteens and the like is absolutely rank. The secret to a good rassolnik is the right type of pickles and a good amount of meat in it. Borscht is much hard to get wrong, which explains it's popularity.

Borcht is not great but wigilijna borscht was always my favorite Christmas food. The one with those small mushroom dumplings in them.

Granted that was also because the only other Christmas food I had was basically Thanksgiving food but still.

I just ate borscht and drank svass from an odd Russian lady who runs a restaurant called dthe Russia house.

I had to request no kale in my borscht as the reviews stated she adds it to the soup. NYET.

Flaki own. The secret is that the texture is not as bad as you would guess from looking at them.

In other news, Duda congratulated Biden... on a successful campaign and made a reference to waiting for the electorate college. Pretty lol, but then again Polish government didn't have a plan for Trump losing.

Borsch is really good, I really like the cold variant with cream or even mayonnaise actually.

None of them compare to Goulash as far as Eastern European soups/stews go though, so it might as well end there.

I'd say it's typically closer to a stew, but it kind of depends on how it's made and how much stuff you put in it. But that's true for a lot of stews/soups. Anyway, Goulash is almost certainly the superior option of everything mentioned so far.

Perhaps a bit ironic, but the best goulash I've had was at a roadside restaurant in Slovakia, rather than in Hungary.

I like all soups mentioned, probably because I'm not too picky fattie. Some are objectively meh, but are connected to happy childhood memories, like babcia doing barszcz with potatoes and kiełbasa.
