Step by Step guide
Step 1
Prepare the meat: rinse under running water, let the water drain, and dry with a clean towel.
Step 2
Place the meat in a pot, cover it with water so that it is submerged by at least 2 cm (leave about 4 cm from the edge of the pot). Clean the onion (ensuring no damage) and the carrot (cut a small piece — 2–3 cm), place them in the pot with the meat and water, and cover the pot with a lid.
Step 3
Put the pot on medium heat, bring to a boil, carefully skimming off the foam. After boiling, reduce the heat to the minimum, cover with a lid, and simmer for one and a half hours, periodically skimming off the foam (2–3 times).
Step 4
Meanwhile, prepare the vegetables: chop the cabbage, potato, onion, and celery, and grate the carrot.
Step 5
In a deep skillet, heat the sunflower oil, add the onion, and cover with a lid. Add freshly ground black pepper and cinnamon, and mix thoroughly. Immediately add the carrot and celery, mix with the onion and spices. Cover with a lid and reduce the heat to the minimum. Stir occasionally. Sauté for 5–7 minutes.
Step 6
Remove the meat and vegetables from the broth. Add the potato, cover with a lid, increase the heat, and bring to a boil, adding salt (1 tablespoon without a heap), cover with a lid, and reduce the heat to the minimum. Cook for 5 minutes.
Step 7
Add the cabbage, cover with a lid, bring to a boil, and reduce the heat to the minimum. Cook for 15 minutes.
Step 8
Add the sautéed onion with carrot and celery. Stir, add 2 medium bay leaves, cover with a lid, and let it simmer for another 5 minutes.
Step 9
Add dried basil and turn off the heat. Let it steep for 10–15 minutes.
Step 10
Serve with mayonnaise or sour cream and freshly chopped herbs (parsley, dill).
