The secret of the right cabbage soup is that they should be thick, rich, with acidity - sauerkraut or tomato sauce gives such an effect. And the rest is freedom for culinary imagination.

Appetizing cabbage soup can be prepared in the most ordinary pan at home. Buy meat in advance, approximately 400-500 g, a small fork of white cabbage, 2 tubers of loose potato, 2 ripe tomatoes, 1 carrot, onion, and put the roots and greens to taste. Season chopped herbs with sour cream and chopped herbs.

“Cabbage soup is also cooked with cereals, you just need to add them before vegetables, taking into account the individual cooking time”

How to choose and chop cabbage

A great choice is a strong autumn head with dense leaves. Do not cook from a young vegetable, it is more suitable for a salad. Chop fresh cabbage into strips and, if desired, bring to semi-preparedness separately. Stuff the young one in a stewpan for 15 minutes, and bake the thick one in the oven, using clay dishes for this. Why do this? When stewed, the vegetable acquires a special aroma that will enrich the taste ready soup.

How much to cook

If you are going to cook on the broth, take a whole piece of meat and cook it in water for about two hours, so that the cabbage soup turns out to be rich and saturated. Be sure to put fragrant seasonings and roots. Into the finished broth, add chopped cabbage. Wait for boiling and lower the potatoes, previously sliced.

While the cabbage soup is boiled, fry the carrots, onions and roots in oil. Chop pepper into a cube, peel the tomatoes, send everything to the broth and boil a little. At the end of cooking, add the fried vegetables, lavrushka, black pepper.

The last step can be changed if time permits. Place the pan in the oven, covered with foil, and simmer for about an hour. Then add the potatoes (chopped in a cube) and let stand for another 30 minutes. After 1.5 hours, you will get soft meat with tender thick stew, as there will not be a lump left from the potatoes. And mix this fragrant liquid with cabbage, add what you like - tomatoes, sweet peppers, beans (pods), fresh herbs, mushrooms. Tomite for about 30 minutes.

“It is allowed to add to the cabbage a little flour fried in a pan until golden brown, dilute it with broth and boil a little, then put in a sieve and rub.”

Benefit and harm

Rich, tasty cabbage soup - this, of course, is great. But the main thing is that the dish is safe for health. Despite the many positive qualities, sauerkraut cabbage soup is quite insidious. So I made up a small cheat sheet.

  • Cabbage soup improves digestion. Fiber and lactic acid bacteria in the composition help the stomach and intestines, facilitating the absorption and digestion of food.
  • They will bring many benefits for colds and flu, as they contain ascorbic acid (vitamin C).
    “A curious fact: with a wet cough, sour cabbage“ prescribed ”in the form of cabbage soup helps a lot”
  • Quench thirst and slightly reduce body temperature with a cold. One plate of cabbage soup - and you will feel better.
  • May cause exacerbation of gastritis, metabolic disorders and water-salt balance due to the high salt content in pickled vegetables.
  • Not recommended for cholecystitis and duodenal ulcer

Useful Tips

Cabbage soup with pepper

If time allows, it’s good to cook cabbage soup by all the rules, but sometimes you need to cook dinner quickly. In this case, I recommend cooking the broth in the evening, during the night the meat will become softer and more tender, it needs to be cut and returned to the liquid.

The daily cabbage soup made from sauerkraut will become even tastier after heating, so in the North they often cooked a large pot, then they froze, and, if necessary, chopped a piece, put it in a cast iron and heated in a Russian oven. The dish cooked on the stove and subsequently frozen is not inferior in taste to the one from the stove.

Cabbage soup should have a sour taste, this is a prerequisite. In addition to traditional ingredients, you can supplement them with sour apples or berries (lingonberries, cranberries), sour cream, pickles and mushrooms. Tomatoes and peppers are laid in the South of Russia, and modern recipes contain potatoes, which make the soup thick and tasty.

Set the meat into a strong broth, adding bay leaf and allspice to it. While it is cooking, fry the onion in butter until transparent, then combine with grated carrots. Once the vegetable is soft, remove the pan from the stove. Remove the meat, cut into slices, send back to the broth, pour the cubes of potatoes and chopped parsley root.

After 8-10 minutes, season with sauerkraut (squeezed from brine). However, if there are no health problems, you don’t need to do anything, just cook it in meat broth for 15 minutes, then put the fried vegetables and spices. Cook another 7 minutes. Serve with sour cream or cream, sprinkled with fresh herbs.
