Borscht with prunes
Description
Our borscht with prunes will be a real find for those who observe fasting or adhere to vegetarian dietary principles. Moreover, this first dish turns out to be unusually tasty and fragrant. Why? Because borsch is prepared on mushroom broth, and prunes with their inimitable smoky notes act as a special additive to the dish. All other ingredients are traditional: beets, onions, carrots, cabbage and potatoes. Therefore, your "omnivorous" household will certainly like the dish. We are simply sure that the absence of meat in borscht with prunes will not embarrass them at all, and even pleasantly surprise them, because this version of the soup is more light and better digestible.
