“Barszcz” means "sour" in Polish and refers to any sour soup. Sour soups are sometimes made with a kwas or sour starter and are usually red (made with beets) or white (made with white kiełbasa cooking water, potatoes and sour cream, or other ingredients).
This clear red barszcz or barszcz czysty czerwony gets a desired hint of sourness from lemon juice or vinegar and is great eaten hot with boiled potatoes, little dumplings (“uszka”) or cold with rye bread.
