Jews from the region that was the Austro-Hungarian Empire and is now Ukraine made red borscht and the sorrel variety - it was called shav. My grandmother used to have a jar of shav in her refrigerator in New York.

My husband is Latvian. Every family, in the old country and the diaspora, adds their own influences to this wonderful soup. Haven't tasted a dud yet!
