But we'll talk about how cabbage soup is brewed in Russia. For this, fresh, sour and cauliflower can be used. In this article we will look at all three recipes.

To make soup with sauerkraut, it is necessary:

1) Prepare the vegetables and finely chop them.

2) At the heart of any soup is the broth. So, cook the broth, and about half an hour before the meal we put vegetables in it. In a frying pan fry finely chopped onions and carrots, grated on a large grater.

3) We take from the jar sauerkraut, thoroughly rinsed and squeezed. Then add it to carrots and onions, which were fried in a frying pan.

4) While the vegetables are boiled, you need to quickly clean and rub the beetroot, and cut the potatoes into small cubes.

5) Put the potatoes in boiling broth, while othersVegetables simmer on low heat, tightly closing the lid. When the beet is ready, it must also be sent to the broth. In soup with sauerkraut, add ground pepper and salt. It remains to bring everything to a boil and remove from the fire. It is desirable to give the borscht for a few minutes to sink under the lid.

The second recipe we offer is soupwith fresh cabbage. To make it, you need to take an average carrot, 400 grams of fresh cabbage, dried herbs, 4 potatoes, canned mushrooms, bay leaf and spices.

We begin with the fact that we shred cabbage finely. After that, take the carrots, potatoes and cut them into small cubes. These vegetables mix well with each other, and then add mushrooms and selected spices. All this is laid out in a steamer and cooked for 30-40 minutes. In a regular pan this process will be longer. When the vegetables are ready, you need to gently turn the bowl of vegetables in the lower tier of the steamer, where the broth is. We put there a laurel leaf and wait 10 minutes to get it under the lid.
