So how much to cook sauerkraut in cabbage soup? The answer is simple - ten minutes. Cabbage soup becomes acidic. Nutritionists believe that sauerkraut in cabbage soup gives the dish a certain specific gastronomic feature, and helps to improve the digestion process.

• At the very beginning, you need to cook the broth. Many gastronomy professionals recommend using only beef pulp. However, it is better to buy meat on the bone. In this case, the broth will be more rich and aromatic. We recommend salting water, meat tastes more juicy and tasty. As soon as the water begins to boil, carefully remove the scum with a spoon. Cook for about an hour and a half. Then get a piece of meat, separate from the bone, cut the flesh into small pieces and add back to the broth. We pass to the second stage.
• Add potatoes (diced). And, of course, cabbage.

It is recommended to rinse the cabbage under wastewater, squeeze thoroughly and place in a pan. After it was immersed in a pan, it boils much faster. When boiling, foam may appear. It's okay - the cabbage is acidic, and it is this acid that releases the foam.
• Now consider the option with fresh cabbage. How to cook fresh cabbage in cabbage soup? It cooks much longer - about twenty minutes, because it is much tougher, yet raw, unlike sauerkraut, boils not so fast. Once the set time has passed, we proceed to the next stage.
• Gradually add vegetables. Onions and carrots, after peeling, finely chopped, carrots can be grated. On the basis of these vegetables make a frying. We heat the pan, add a little sunflower oil, and engage in the onion transfer for about seven minutes. Then add the carrots at the same time. We mix actively, do not let the vegetables burn. Over time, add vegetables to the general pot.
• Add bay leaf, salt, pepper or other spices to the pan to taste. For flavor, put the garlic passed through the press. Let the cabbage soup languish under a closed lid for about fifteen minutes. Then you can turn it off.

Cabbage soup is tastier not only from the stove, it is better if they are infused. When serving, we recommend putting a spoonful of sour cream.

Cabbage soup is also prepared without meat ingredient. This is a real find in fasting days for believers. Then in this case plain water is suitable instead of meat broth, and mushrooms are added to all vegetables. They add flavor and color to the hot first course. At the end of cooking (before the very process of stewing cabbage soup), several tablespoons of sunflower oil are added to the pan. How to cook cabbage in cabbage soup? Exactly the same.
