Borscht in chicken broth with boiled beets

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 1 hr 45 mins

1. STEP 1

   

   We cut the vegetables into strips, optionally into checkers or cubes, as you prefer.

2. STEP 2

   

   Fill the chicken with cold water and put it on the stove. When the water boils, skim off the foam from the broth and reduce the heat. While the broth is cooking, fry the vegetables.

3. STEP 3

   

   Pour vegetable oil into a frying pan and add onions. Lightly fry and add carrots. Then sweet pepper, butter, tomatoes and tomato paste. We cooked the vegetables for 15 minutes.

4. STEP 4

   

   The broth was cooked for 1 hour. Using a slotted spoon, remove the chicken from the broth and set aside to cool; later, we will separate the meat from the bones.

5. STEP 5

   

   Add cabbage to the boiling broth. When it boils, add the potatoes. Cook for 15 minutes. Then put the fried vegetables with tomato paste into the pan and continue cooking for another 10 minutes.

6. STEP 6

   

   Add beets and bring to a boil. Then sugar, vinegar, salt, bay leaf, black pepper, chicken, garlic, herbs.

7. STEP 7

   

   Let it boil for 1 minute and turn it off. Let the borscht stand for 20 minutes without covering it with a lid. (otherwise the borscht will lose its color.)

Nice borscht! So rich, beautiful, looks delicious, I can imagine what it tastes like! I noticed a little thing that I really liked - cut the potatoes into strips just like cabbage. I'll definitely do that. Thanks for the recipe!
