Fresh cabbage soup with chicken

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 2 hr

1. STEP 1

   

   How to cook cabbage soup from fresh cabbage with chicken? First of all, prepare all the products according to the list. Take the whole chicken or any parts from it. Chicken backs, legs, wings, etc. are good for broth.

2. STEP 2

   

   Place the chicken in a saucepan, add water and place on the stove. Bring to a boil over high heat, add salt and skim off any white foam that has formed. Reduce the flame to moderate and cook the meat until cooked. This will take up to 30-40 minutes.

3. STEP 3

   

   Meanwhile, prepare all other products. Remove the outer tough leaves from the cabbage. Peel potatoes, garlic (if you use it), onions and carrots. Rinse all vegetables and herbs in cold water.

4. STEP 4

   

   Finely chop the onion and grate the carrots using a coarse grater.

5. STEP 5

   

   Chop the tomatoes into small cubes. If desired, peel the tomatoes first. I don't usually do this.

6. STEP 6

   

   Heat a small amount of refined oil in a frying pan. Send the onions and carrots to fry. Saute the vegetables, stirring, until the onion is translucent.

7. STEP 7

   

   Add tomatoes to fry and stir. Reduce heat to medium and cook everything together for about 7-10 minutes.

8. STEP 8

   

   Cut the potatoes into medium-sized cubes or sticks.

9. STEP 9

   

   Chop the cabbage into medium-sized strips; you should not cut it too thin so that during subsequent simmering the cabbage retains its shape.

10. STEP 10

    

    Remove the chicken from the broth. Place the potatoes into the pan. Cook until done (about 20 minutes).

11. STEP 11

    

    Increase the heat on the stove. Add the cabbage, bay leaf and roast to the broth. Add salt as needed and add sugar.

12. STEP 12

    

    Separate the slightly cooled chicken meat from the bone and place in a saucepan. After boiling again, turn the burner down to the lowest setting (if you have an electric stove, set it to one), cover the pan with a lid and simmer the cabbage soup for about an hour. If you did not use a young head of cabbage, then leave it on the stove for up to an hour and a half.

13. STEP 13

    

    Sprinkle the finished cabbage soup with fresh, finely chopped herbs and add garlic. Remove from heat and let sit for 5-10 minutes.

14. STEP 14

    

    The most aromatic and delicious cabbage soup from fresh cabbage is ready! Serve hot, sprinkled with ground black pepper.

15. STEP 15

    

    This soup made from fresh cabbage with sour cream is very tasty.

Shchi is one of the most favorite soups in my family. It seems to me that they are good in any variation and in any broth, even vegetable broth. This time I wanted to make cabbage soup from fresh cabbage with chicken. I already had frozen ready-made chicken thigh broth. I defrosted it, added cold water to it to make two liters, brought it to a boil and boiled for about ten minutes. I prepared all the vegetables, except the tomato, as written in the recipe. I grated the tomato (I took only one because it was quite large), since my daughter really doesn’t like tomato pieces in ready-made food. After adding all the ingredients, the cabbage soup simmered for an hour. From greens I added dill and parsley. The cabbage soup turned out excellent: rich, thick, aromatic. I usually don’t add tomato, but as it turns out, the soup only benefits from it. The tomato added a slight pleasant sourness to the soup. Thank you very much for the recipe! It turned out very tasty.
