Description
Day-old cabbage soup becomes more flavorful and hearty after spending a full day in the cold. This simple technique allows the broth to absorb flavor and richness. It's best to let the soup rest in the freezer: if the soup freezes and then thaws, the cabbage will become very tender.

- Sauerkraut - 2 lbs

Step by Step guide
Step 1
Prepare the necessary ingredients.
Step 10
Serve with sour cream.
Step 2
Rinse the sauerkraut under cold water and then squeeze it out again.
Step 3
Chop it finely and transfer to a heavy-bottomed saucepan with vegetable oil, add 100 grams of tomato paste, sugar to taste, and a little water to prevent the cabbage from burning. Simmer on low heat for 3 hours, covered with a lid. The softer the cabbage becomes after simmering, the better the flavor of the soup.
Step 4
Pour 3 liters of water over the meat, place it on the heat, and bring to a boil. Skim off any foam, then reduce the heat so that small bubbles rise to the surface. Add the onion, carrot, peppercorns, and bay leaf. Cook for 1.5 hours.
Step 5
Strain the broth, then shred or cut the meat into small pieces.
Step 6
Dice the onion and carrot into small cubes.
Step 7
Sauté in vegetable oil with the remaining tomato paste for 7–10 minutes. Add them to the cabbage and simmer everything together for another 10–15 minutes.
Step 8
Bring the broth to a boil, add the stewed vegetables and meat, and simmer for about an hour over low heat. Then remove from heat, wrap with a cloth or blanket, and let it sit for 3-4 hours. Once cooled, refrigerate the borscht for a day.
Step 9
The next day, reheat the cabbage soup, season with salt and pepper to taste, and add chopped herbs and garlic.
