Green borscht in a slow cooker
In the summer, when we have such an abundance of new vegetables and herbs, I highly recommend preparing this tasty greenish borscht with sorrel in a slow cooker. Green borscht in a slow cooker comes out very satisfying, rich, with a pleasant sour note. But in the modern world, such green borscht can be prepared all year round, since all the necessary ingredients can be purchased in hypermarkets and you can enjoy this splendor even in winter.
Ingredients:
- meat (I have pork - 450 g)
- potatoes – 4 pcs.
- medium carrots – 1 pc.
- onion – 1 pc.
- sorrel - one large bunch
- eggs – 3 – 4 pcs.
- rice - 3 - 4 tbsp. spoons (optional)
- fresh herbs - dill, parsley, green onions
- salt, pepper, bay leaf
- water
How to cook greenish borscht in a slow cooker:
Cut the meat into small pieces. Peel the potatoes, wash and cut into cubes. Peel the carrots, wash and grate on a large grater. Peel, wash and chop the onion finely or throw in whole.
Place meat, potatoes, carrots and onions into the multicooker bowl. Salt, add bay leaf, sprinkle with spices to taste (for seasonings I use a mixture of Provençal herbs and dried dill).
I had young pork, so I put it in a bowl immediately with vegetables, it’s better to simmer old meat in advance in the “Baking” mode for 25-30 minutes, and then just add vegetables for the soup, otherwise the meat will not have time to cook.
Pour water into the bowl up to the highest mark. Close the lid. Set the “Extinguishing” mode for 1.5 hours.
Add rice 20-30 minutes before the end of cooking. If you add rice right away, it will boil.
Boil the eggs separately on the stove, peel and cut into cubes. Sort out the sorrel, green onions, parsley and dill, wash and cut.
At the end, add sorrel, fresh herbs and eggs. Spice up. Bring the greenish borscht in the multicooker to a boil in the “baking” or “steaming” mode, turn off.
Before serving, season the borscht with sour cream. Bon appetit.
Green borscht without meat with beans:
Green borscht is thick, fragrant, rich, with a pleasant light sourness; it can be cooked virtually all year round. But it is especially vital in the spring, when the body so requires vitamins (a group of low-molecular organic compounds of relatively simple structure and varied chemical nature) , and the freshest young greenery appears in the garden beds. So housewives try to feed their own households very tasty and healthy. Green borscht can be cooked in meat broth, but the dish is no less tasty without the use of meat. Some cooks put cabbage in borscht, others add beans. The main ingredients of the dish are young sour sorrel, parsley and dill. If possible, add green onions and young garlic arrows. Greenish borscht cooked in a slow cooker is especially rich. To make it, it is best to use the “Multi-cook” mode.
Ingredients:
- potatoes – 4 pcs.;
- onion (large) – 1 piece (if crayons then 2-3 pieces);
- carrots – 1 piece;
- garlic – 3 cloves;
- beans – 0.5 cups;
- testicle – 4-5 pieces;
- sorrel – 1 large bunch;
- dill, parsley;
- wheat flour – 1 tbsp. spoon (with a slide);
- salt, dark ground pepper - to taste;
- Bay leaf;
- allspice (corns);
- sunflower oil (unflavored);
- 3 liters of water.
How to cook greenish borscht without meat with beans:
Before you start cooking greenish borscht, prepare the beans, i.e. it must be boiled in advance. To do this, pour 3 liters of water into the multicooker bowl, add beans, turn on the “Multicook” mode, setting the temperature to 100 degrees. Cook the beans until semi-soft, this will take approximately 1.5 hours (cooking time depends on the type of bean). If your model does not have such a mode, then use the “Soup” or “Stew” program.
While the vegetable broth with beans is being prepared, hard-boil the chicken eggs, cool them, remove the skin, and cut into small pieces.
When our beans are ready, let's start sautéing the vegetables. This can be created in a slow cooker if you are the lucky owner of an extra bowl, or on the stovetop in a frying pan. To do this, pour 3-4 tbsp into the sauteing dish. sunflower oil, place the peeled and diced onion there, fry until soft.
Immediately remove the skin from the carrots, grate them on a large grater or, even better, cut them into small squares. Send after the onion. Do not forget to stir the vegetables from time to time so as not to burn. Lastly, add chopped garlic cloves and a good, full tablespoon of flour to the vegetables. Stir with a wood spatula. Toasted flour imparts a light nutty flavor to the borscht, making it thicker and more satisfying. Add half a glass of water and let the fry come to a boil.
Place peeled and chopped potato tubers, salt, and aromatic pepper into the vegetable broth with beans. The cooking mode is the same as for beans.
After 20 minutes, when the potatoes are cooked, add eggs, chopped herbs, sauteed vegetables, bay leaves and dark pepper to taste to the borscht.
Cook the borscht for another 7-10 minutes. The total cooking time for borscht is approximately 2 hours. Beans are cooked for 1.5 hours, borscht is cooked for 30 minutes.
Before serving, greenish borscht with beans should sit for 10-15 minutes. Be sure to serve the dish with sour cream.

It's an absurdity, not a recipe. What kind of greenish borscht with tomato, beets and garlic is this? This is traditional Ukrainian borscht!
Each housewife has her own borscht recipe and they are very different.
Victoria, please explain how greenish borscht can be reddish in color?!
You see, all my friends add a little tomato to their borscht with sorrel. All. Maybe this is only the case in our area, I don’t understand, but I don’t like the color without tomato .
How do you mix cabbage and beets in green borscht? These ingredients are a priori absent from greenish borscht. It is called green because it is prepared on the basis of sorrel or young nettle, but not on the basis of cabbage and beets.
Vladimir, out of enthusiasm, I went through culinary websites and read how people cook greenish borscht. Believe it or not, I found recipes for beets, spinach, and even rice. As I say, every housewife cooks in her own way. If you don't like the recipe, pass it by.
Quite cool. The soup came out luxurious. My husband is picky and very stingy with praise. For the first time in 5 years I was so pleased that I couldn’t even help but praise the food.
I'm very glad that you liked it so much :)
For the first time in my life I cooked borscht and prepared it according to your recipe) It turned out very tasty, thank you!
I just cut up a lot of vegetables, started making them in a slow cooker and later realized that I simply couldn’t fit everything in there. I poured everything into a saucepan and cooked it in it, it turned out no less tasty)

Step-by-step recipe with photos
Cooking in a slow cooker is simple and pleasant. With the help of this kitchen assistant you can practically prepare any dish. The only thing is that we may have to change the order of manufacturing different components, taking into account that we will only have one heating device. If on the stove we have 2-3-4 burners, on which we can immediately prepare both broth and sauté, then in the case of a multicooker we will have only one heating device. Accordingly, first we will have to prepare the auxiliary components of the dish, and then relaxingly cook the borscht in a bowl in a multicooker until the end. This is roughly how I made borscht with beets not long ago.
So, to make greenish borscht in a slow cooker, we need boiled eggs. We will start with their production. To boil eggs, I use the “Steam Boiler” program. I think that there are other suitable programs; we can choose any one that involves boiling. Let's set the time to 10 minutes. This means that the time will be measured from the moment the water boils, and after the programmed time has elapsed, the device will automatically turn off. Place the finished eggs in cool water and use them a little later.
Next, sauté the onions in sunflower oil using the “Frying” program.
Place the fried onions separately from the bowl, and use the multicooker bowl to make borscht. Pour water over the pork, cut into pieces, filling the bowl three-quarters full.
Add salt and cook the broth on the “Soup” program until the meat is cooked. This is about an hour or a little more if the meat is hard.
While the broth is preparing, peel the potatoes and cut them into pieces.
Add the potatoes to the meat and continue cooking on the “Soup” program.
Wash and chop the sorrel.
Dilute the sour cream with water so that it does not form lumps. Instead of sour cream, you can use mayonnaise.
Add fried onion to the borscht.
Peel the eggs and cut into pieces.
Add to the borscht about 15 minutes after adding the potatoes.
Add diluted sour cream.
Add sorrel at the very end.
Boil the green borscht in the slow cooker for another 2 minutes, add pepper, fresh herbs and one bay leaf to taste.
Greenish borscht with sorrel is ready. Bon appetit!
