Kapustnyak (Cabbage Soup with Pork)

A wonderful lunch for your whole family! Kapustnyak is traditionally made with sauerkraut, but I use fresh cabbage — I just like it better that way. Here's my recipe for a fragrant bowl of cabbage soup at lunchtime. (Kapustnyak is a hearty Ukrainian cabbage soup.)

    1. Wash the pork brisket, cut it into pieces, put it in a pot, and cover with water. Peel and wash the carrots and onions. Add one whole onion to the meat, along with half of the carrots (no need to chop the onion or carrots), and set the pot over the heat. When the broth comes to a boil, skim off the foam, season with salt, lower the heat, and cook for about 40 minutes.
    1. Meanwhile, peel the potatoes and cut them into cubes. Finely shred the cabbage in a blender, and rinse the millet a couple of times in clean water.
    1. Add the prepared ingredients to the broth: cabbage, potatoes, and millet. Cook for about 15 minutes.
    1. Grate the remaining carrots and dice the remaining onion. Put them in a skillet, add the vegetable oil, and sauté until the carrots are soft. Wash the tomatoes, cut them into small wedges, add them to the sautéed vegetables, simmer for 2 minutes, then stir everything into the soup.
    1. Now it's time for the seasonings: add the bay leaves, peppercorns, citric acid, and sugar. Cook the kapustnyak for a final 5 minutes, then cover and let it rest off the heat for 15 minutes.
  • Ladle into bowls and serve!
