Young cabbage soup with chicken

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 1 hr 30 mins

1. STEP 1

   

   A set of products for cooking cabbage soup with chicken broth.

2. STEP 2

   

   First of all, cook the broth. We rinse the chicken well, pour cold water 4-5 cm above the chicken, add salt and cook over medium heat for about 1 hour. Do not forget to carefully remove the foam. When the chicken is ready, remove it from the broth and leave to cool.

3. STEP 3

   

   Peel the potatoes, cut them into strips, and put them in the broth.

4. STEP 4

   

   Shred young cabbage. Place it in the pan 10 minutes before the end of cooking the soup.

5. STEP 5

   

   Be sure to skim off the foam that forms when cooking cabbage.

6. STEP 6

   

   Chop the onion, fry in 1 tbsp. vegetable oil

7. STEP 7

   

   Add carrots and a couple more tablespoons of oil to the onion.

8. STEP 8

   

   Add tomato sauce or ketchup. I don't like fresh tomatoes in soup, but if you do, you can add them instead of sauce. Fry everything together for a couple of minutes.

9. STEP 9

   

   Add 4 tbsp. broth and simmer for another 5 minutes. Add to the soup 5 minutes before it is ready.

10. STEP 10

    

    Lastly, add the peppercorns and bay leaf. Cut the cooled chicken into pieces, or disassemble into fibers and add to the soup. When serving, top with sour cream and herbs.
