Fresh cabbage soup with meat

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 1 hr 20 mins

1. STEP 1

   

   Let's prepare the ingredients for the soup according to the list. If desired, any of the components of the dish can be replaced or the proportions of the ingredients can be changed. For the soup, you can use pork or beef, whichever you prefer. With pork the soup will be fattier and higher in calories, with beef it will be lighter. Wash the meat, cut it into portions, and rinse it again to remove any blood.

2. STEP 2

   

   Wash the potatoes, peel them and cut them into cubes or strips.

3. STEP 3

   

   We clean the white cabbage from the top dry leaves and chop it into thin strips. The soup will taste better if the cabbage is young and fresh.

4. STEP 4

   

   Place the meat in a pan with water. We put it on fire. Add a pinch of salt, bay leaf and peppercorns. Cook the meat for 30 minutes. Strain the broth or remove the foam that forms on the surface of the broth so that the soup is clear. Take out the bay leaf. Place cooked white cabbage and potatoes into the pan. Cook the meat and vegetables for another 15 minutes over medium heat.

5. STEP 5

   

   Meanwhile, while the meat is cooking, wash, peel, cut into strips or grate the carrots on a medium grater.

6. STEP 6

   

   Peel the onions and finely chop them with a knife.

7. STEP 7

   

   Heat vegetable oil in a frying pan. To make the soup more flavorful, you can replace vegetable oil with butter, but it will turn out tastier, but higher in calories. Place carrots and onions in hot oil. Fry until golden brown.

8. STEP 8

   

   Transfer the fried vegetables from the frying pan to the pan. Cook over medium heat for about 7 minutes. Add salt and ground black pepper to taste. If desired, you can sprinkle with chopped fresh herbs. Turn off the fire immediately. Let the soup brew under the lid for about 20 minutes.

9. STEP 9

   

   Pour the soup into bowls. Serve to the table with sour cream and fresh bread. Bon appetit!

Lunch on weekends is not complete without a first course. This time I made fresh cabbage soup with meat according to this recipe. I decided to make broth from beef on the bone. This meat takes a long time to cook, so I started cooking it in advance, in the morning. I cooked it first for 15 minutes, discarded the first broth, and then for two hours until done. The meat was cut into pieces. I added potatoes and cabbage half an hour before the meat was ready. My cabbage is “winter”, so I need to cook it longer. After adding the frying agent, I boiled it for about five minutes and let it brew. I put the bay leaf in the pan along with the onions and carrots so that it would not be bitter. The soup turned out rich, thick, very tasty and aromatic. I served it with fresh sour cream. Thanks for the recipe!
