From sorrel and nettle

Don't miss the season of these greenish weeds. Then the body will thank you with good health and immunity, because the burning herb contains: vitamins (a group of low-molecular organic compounds of relatively simple structure and varied chemical nature) C, B2, K, folic acid.

With sauerkraut and mushrooms

The millet in this recipe adds thickness and richness to the dish. It is recommended to people who suffer from gastrointestinal and liver disorders. Both sauerkraut and fresh cabbage are added. In my family it is also called “cabbage”.

Tips for making cabbage soup

In addition to frying, I usually add onions twice more: at the very beginning with the meat and at the end with finely chopped cabbage. I throw away the cabbage that was first cooked.
Frying half an onion, carrots and celery in a dry frying pan will give the broth flavor and a golden color.
If you cook cabbage soup without potatoes, you can put a slice of the freshest snow-white bread without a crust, and after soaking in the broth, grind it with a spoon. This will give velvety and thickness.
I always slightly salt the meat broth before preparing it. This is necessary for its saturation, because meat consists of proteins that do not dissolve in ordinary water, but only in saline solution.
If the beef is not young, mustard helps me. A few hours before cooking, I rub the meat with the mixture, and later rinse it off with cool water. Thanks to this, it becomes much softer and cooks faster.

Conclusion

The final accord in a plate of hot cabbage soup will be sour cream. It imparts satiety and sourness to the freshest cabbage, which is not at all necessary if we were cooking from sauerkraut.

Wash the meat, put it in a saucepan, add cool water and bring to a boil.

Carefully skim off the foam and place the peeled onions and carrots into the pan.
Bring to a boil again, reduce the heat so that the broth simmers slightly, and cook the meat for about 2-3 hours until it becomes soft.
At the end of cooking, add salt to the broth, remove the onion and carrots and discard.

Advice. The readiness of the meat is checked with a fork or knife. If the knife enters the flesh virtually without resistance, the meat is ready.

Remove the meat from the pan, cool, separate from the bones and cut into small pieces.
Strain the meat broth through several layers of gauze and pour into a clean saucepan (you will get about 2 liters of broth).
Wash the potatoes, peel and cut into strips or cubes.
Wash the cabbage, cut out the stalk and finely chop or cut into squares.
Add potatoes to the broth.

Then add shredded cabbage and chopped meat.

Bring to a boil and cook for about 15-20 minutes (potatoes and cabbage should become soft).

Advice. If you use young cabbage, you can add it 5-10 minutes after the potatoes, because... it cooks even faster, unlike winter varieties, which need to be simmered for quite a long time until completely soft.

Peel the onion and chop finely.
Wash the carrots, peel and cut into small cubes.
Heat vegetable oil in a frying pan, add carrots and fry, stirring occasionally, for about 3 minutes.
Add the onion, add a little salt and fry together with the carrots until soft, over low or medium heat, about 5-7 minutes.

Place the fried vegetables in a saucepan with soup.

Add bay leaf, peppercorns, stir and simmer the soup over low heat for about 10 minutes so that all the flavors combine.

Wash and chop the greens.
Wash the tomatoes and chop finely.

Tip 1. It is better to peel the tomatoes. To do this, make a cross-shaped cut on the side of the stalk and immerse the tomatoes in boiling water for 1 minute, then immediately transfer them to ice water. After this, the skin can be simply removed.

Tip 2: Instead of new tomatoes, you can add tomato sauce. The sauce is added at the end of frying the onions and carrots and simmered for 2-3 minutes together with the vegetables.

Add tomatoes to the soup, stir and cook for 1-2 minutes.

Add the greens, stir to taste as needed, add salt and pepper and remove the soup from the heat.

Cover the pan with a lid and let sit for about 15 minutes before serving.

Serve cabbage soup with sour cream.

Bon appetit!
