Barščiai
A beetroot soup with potato, carrot and aromatic vegetables.
About Barščiai
Iveta shares this barščiai as a simple everyday beetroot soup familiar to Lithuanian cooks. Her vegetable-stock version combines cooked grated beetroot with potato, carrot, onion and garlic.
Tomato paste and sugar shape the beetroot base, while bay leaves and pepper provide the aromatics. Salt is an optional final adjustment in the published method.
Grated beetroot runs through the soup around the diced root vegetables. The preparation keeps the vegetables as distinct components in its beet-coloured broth.
