Author have a say…
I have always like to order myself a bowl of borscht soup whenever I visited at Hong Kong cafe. In Hong Kong, they are famously known as “lou song tang”. Some of them serve really a well-cooked soup, some of them are terrible. Borscht Soup contains lots of ingredients, and it is pretty straightforward to make them yourself at home. Though the ingredient list is pretty similar to minestrone soup, as both of them are tomato-based soup. However, they do taste pretty different to your palate. My version of borscht soup will not disappoint you, Promise!
