Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 2 hr 20 mins

1. STEP 1

   

   How to cook cabbage soup with tomatoes, fresh cabbage and meat? Prepare all the necessary ingredients according to the list and start by preparing the broth. You can take any meat (pork, beef, chicken), or if you wish, cook it without meat, using meat or vegetable broth or just water. To make the broth more rich, take meat with a bone. It could be a shank, a shoulder blade. I have beef ribs, but they have a lot of meat on them.

2. STEP 2

   

   Rinse the meat. Place the meat in a pan of boiling water. Add a whole peeled onion, 4 allspice peas and 2 bay leaves to the pan. Cook over low heat for 1.5 hours until the meat is cooked. Add salt at the end.

3. STEP 3

   

   Peel the potatoes and cut into small cubes.

4. STEP 4

   

   Shred the white cabbage.

5. STEP 5

   

   Peel the tomato and cut into small cubes. How to easily remove the skin from tomatoes? Wash them and make cross cuts on top with a sharp knife. Place in boiling water for 1-2 minutes. Remove, cool slightly and remove the skin.

6. STEP 6

   

   Peel the carrots and cut into small cubes.

7. STEP 7

   

   Cut the second onion into small cubes.

8. STEP 8

   

   Wash the dill and parsley, dry and finely chop. If you wish, you can replace or supplement with other herbs, such as green onions, cilantro, or use a mixture of different herbs.

9. STEP 9

   

   Remove the meat, cool, separate from the bones and cut into small pieces.

10. STEP 10

    

    Strain the broth, return to the heat and bring to a boil.

11. STEP 11

    

    Place potatoes in broth. Cook for about 10 minutes.

12. STEP 12

    

    In a frying pan in vegetable oil, fry the onion for 5 minutes.

13. STEP 13

    

    Add carrots and fry for another 5 minutes until golden brown.

14. STEP 14

    

    Transfer the roast into a saucepan with soup.

15. STEP 15

    

    Add cabbage, remaining allspice and bay leaf. Cook for 10 minutes. You can replace fresh cabbage with sauerkraut.

    Add chopped tomatoes. Salt and pepper the soup to taste. Cook for another 2-3 minutes.

17. STEP 17

    

    At the end, add chopped herbs. Remove the cabbage soup from the heat. Cover the pan with a lid and let the soup steep for about 15 minutes. Bon appetit!

Cabbage soup is held in high esteem in my family. Both children and the adult half of the family love them. I usually don’t add tomatoes to cabbage soup. But when preparing cabbage soup with tomatoes, fresh cabbage and meat, I strictly followed the recipe. I cooked the broth with pork meat in three liters of water. I took all the other ingredients, except for the greens (I ran out of them), according to the recipe. The cabbage soup turned out to be very aromatic and rich. It turned out very tasty with tomatoes. There is no obvious tomato taste, but the tomatoes added their own flavor to the soup. The meat pieces were cooked perfectly and turned out soft and tender. Thanks for the recipe!
