How To Cook Lazy Cabbage Soup

Russian cuisine is rich in recipes for many varieties of cabbage soup, a primordially Russian dish that appeared in the mists of time. Among them, one can single out a delicious dish under the interesting name "lazy cabbage soup". They are called "lazy" not because nothing needs to be done to prepare them, but because they are "lazy" cooked for a long time without boiling for 4-5 hours.

It is necessary

• - 500-600 g of beef;
• - 3 liters of water;
• - 500-600 g of fresh white cabbage;
• - 2 small onions;
• - 1 carrot;
• - parsley root 1 pc.;
• - celery root 1 pc.;
• - 100 g sour cream;
• - 1 tablespoon of salt (no top);
• - dill greens;
• - parsley.

Instructions

Step 1

Divide the beef into portions and place in a pot of cold water. Place the pot on the stove and cook the meat until half cooked for thirty minutes.

Step 2

While the meat is cooking, prepare the required ingredients. Cut the cabbage into large strips and cover with boiling water. Blanching cabbage is done to create a protective film on the surface of the cabbage leaves, which will prevent them from overcooking. After 20-25 minutes, place the cabbage in a sieve or colander and let cool. Chop the onion, celery and parsley roots not very finely, grate the carrots.

Step 3

Remove the meat, wash it in warm water, and strain the broth through cheesecloth folded in half or through a fine mesh sieve. Pour the broth back into a clean, washed saucepan.

Step 4

Put cabbage, carrots, onions, roots, pieces of meat in the broth and cook without boiling for 4-5 hours. Season with salt to taste thirty minutes before the end of cooking.

Step 5

Add a teaspoon of sour cream to a plate with ready-made cabbage soup. To add beauty to the dish, garnish with dill and parsley.
