Fresh cabbage soup with meat

Step-by-step cooking

1. Step 1:

   

   Let's prepare the ingredients for the soup according to the list. If desired, any of the ingredients of the dish can be replaced or the proportions of the ingredients can be changed. For soup, you can use pork or beef, who likes what more. With pork, the soup will be more fatty and high–calorie, with beef - easier. The meat is washed, cut into portions, washed again to remove the released blood.

2. Step 2:

   

   Potatoes are washed, cleaned, cut into cubes or straws.

3. Step 3:

   

   We peel the white cabbage from the upper dry leaves and chop it with thin straws. The soup will be tastier if the cabbage is young and fresh.

4. Step 4:

   

   Put the meat in a saucepan with water. We put it on fire. Add a pinch of salt, bay leaf and pepper. Cook the meat for 30 minutes. Filter the broth or remove the foam formed on the surface of the broth so that the soup turns out to be transparent. We take out the bay leaf. Put the cooked white cabbage and potatoes in a saucepan. Cook the meat together with the vegetables for another 15 minutes on medium heat.

5. Step 5:

   

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

7. Step 6:

   

   Peel the onion and finely chop it with a knife.

8. Step 7:

   

   Heat the vegetable oil in a frying pan. To make the soup more fragrant, you can replace vegetable oil with butter, but it will turn out tastier, but more calorific. Put the carrots and onions on the heated oil. Fry until golden brown.

9. Step 8:

   

   Transfer the vegetable roast from the frying pan to the saucepan. Cook over medium heat for about 7 minutes. Add salt, 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.

10. Step 9:

    

    Pour the soup on plates. We serve it to the table, with sour cream and fresh bread. Bon appetit!
