Easy Recipe How to cook a delicious soup of sauerkraut in Russia

First we need to get sauerkraut. Today it is easier to make light: went into a shop and bought a plastic barrel, and brought home. But this algorithm is not for me. Cabbage I Quashee only herself, but on the soup - a special recipe.

I picked up a small white cabbage kochanchik to kilograms. There is such variety, slightly flattened top. Cabbage leaf in it all wrinkled, but crisp and sugar. Just clean it from the upper leaves, not mine. And the tavern long strand, but shirokonkoy.

Carrot is also a special need, with a round nose, "karotelechka", with kilogrammchik. Through her on a coarse grater and add to cabbage. Then a tablespoon of sugar, a couple tablespoons of salt and three leaves of laurel. All this should be a lot like fold on the kitchen table, mnu hands until soft.

Cabbage juice immediately gives him the color of carrots gives. While not all the juice came out and put together a cabbage and carrots in a large roomy pan, so plump, erect a large plate on top and three-liter jar with water, put the whole construction of the kitchen to the plate better.

Once the juice starts to stand out from time to time have to poke a lot of cabbage. I have for this purpose a thin bamboo stick is used, but the knife handle with the problem worse. Three days later, already sour cabbage gain, but for the soup a couple of days to wait need to get to the sour taste still ostrinka was added.

These meatless soup does not boil. I love the fat and beef brisket or a good piece of pork neck. Meat is better younger brother, it is more tender and cooked for an hour and a half or two. While it with us in a saucepan languishes, seething quietly, juices with broth divided, let us zazharkoy.

Two large onions shinkuem Dice - and the frying pan in the heated oil. But the top two or three handfuls of cabbage. Let it be like to be fried, soared. Minutes for the three generously sprinkle a mixture of cumin and coriander seeds for spices.

This also can be the mood to put tomato paste, or grated tomatoes, or the Bulgarian pepper, julienned equalized. How many mistresses - so much, and tastes. But I am a conservative, I try to do without additives. Only the cabbage, onion, coriander and cumin. If the cabbage in a store bought, here is one grated carrot needed.

While pritushivayutsya vegetables, meat, cooked, peeling potatoes. Four medium-sized potatoes are the most time will be. On potato soup, I thin I cut the ball joint, if large, the tuber is cut in half, and only then is cut into slices. For the beauty of another thin layer of carrot can be the same wheels, cut.

Lay them in a pot for half an hour until done, about ten minutes add the cabbage and polstakanchika brine. Shinkuem on dosochke two bunches of parsley, better root. And if the market can buy parsley root, generally good. A bunch of white roots - parsley, celery, - scham special taste and aroma gives. Can a few more peas white pepper set, would not be worse.
