About Borscht
Borscht is a sour Eastern European soup, most closely linked with Ukraine, that takes its red from beets. The beets are simmered in meat or vegetable stock with cabbage, carrot, onion, potato and tomato, often after the vegetables are sautéed. Fermented beet juice, vinegar or tomato gives the sour edge. It is usually served with sour cream (smetana) and fresh dill.
Also known as borshch or beet soup.
Typical pieces and portions
Weights come from the sources below. Calories and macros are scaled from the per-100 g values on this page. Select a weight to load it into the calculator.
| Amount | Weight | Protein | Fat | Carbs | Calories |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| [1] | 245 g | 4.9 g | 3.7 g | 17.2 g | 110 kcal |
| [3] | 277 g | 5.5 g | 4.2 g | 19.4 g | 125 kcal |
| [4] | 400 g | 8 g | 6 g | 28 g | 180 kcal |
What changes the numbers
- Sour cream on top. Each tablespoon (12 g) of regular sour cream adds about 24 kcal, almost all from fat. The soup figures on this page leave it out.[5]
- Meat in the pot. A canned borscht made with 10% pork lists 55 kcal and 2.7 g protein per 100 g, above the 45 kcal this page uses. Broth-heavy generic entries (USDA, FatSecret) sit at 20–32 kcal per 100 g.[4]
- Broth-to-vegetable ratio. USDA's broth-heavy survey entry is only about 20 kcal per 100 g, under half the 45 kcal this page uses. A thicker pot with more potato or beans and less broth lands higher.[1]
- Fat for sautéing vegetables. The vegetables are often sautéed before going into the pot. Any oil, butter or lard used for this adds fat to the soup.[6]
How to log it
Weigh your bowl of soup in grams rather than guessing its size. Log sour cream separately by the tablespoon, and if your bowl has a lot of meat, bread or garlic buns (pampushky), add those as their own entries.
