Soup bowls on rather snazzy coasters here, tremendous for starters (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

borscht

'soup' is the definition.
(borscht is a kind of soup)

'bowls on rather snazzy coasters here tremendous for starters' is the wordplay.
'for starters' says to take the initial letters.
The first letters of 'bowls on rather snazzy coasters here tremendous' is 'BORSCHT'.

(Another definition for borscht that I've seen is " Russian beetroot soup".)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
