Russian Borscht- Recipe

(This Russian cuisine has great nutritional value and taste)

Ingredients:

Three cups of Chicken stock (for non Vegs.)  or plain water ( for Vegs.)

1 Cabbage

4 Potatoes

2 Beetroots

2 Carrots

Tomato paste

1 Small onion

5 Garlic bubblets

Parsley or dill

A cup of sour cream

Cut chicken or pork meat

 Recipe:  This soup requires extensive cooking.  Boil water/chicken stock for almost an hour along with peeled raw beetroots

 After boiling, take out beetroot and cut it into thick strips.  Put it back in the pan and boil the same for half an hour.   While it is being boiled, add diced potato.  Meanwhile, cut the carrot and fry it to later add into borsch.  Do the same with sliced onion.  Later, add tomato paste and stir it for some time.  Garlic is to be added in the fried onion-tomato mixture.

 Add nicely chopped cabbage into the borsch pan.  Potato should be boiled properly.  Chicken or pork meat to be added should be soft and tender. Add fried onion and carrot to it and mix everything.

 Leave the pan uncovered.  It is cooked and is ready to be served.  While serving borsch it is vital to have sour cream kept in a separate bowl.
