Soup from sauerkraut is a Russian dish that was prepared in Russia even before the baptism. And today we will share the most delicious recipes for such a dish, from the classic version to cooking in a multicooker.

Sauerkraut soup with beef

The classic sauerkraut soup with beef broth is a delicious rich soup that must be prepared for the whole family. Meat on the bone is ideal for the dish, and homemade sauerkraut is better.

Ingredients:

• 400 g of beef;
• 600 g potatoes;
• 400 g sauerkraut;
• 1 onion;
• 1 carrot;
• 2 tbsp. l. tomato paste;
• salt and pepper to taste;
• 3 bay leaves;
• vegetable oil.

Preparation:

Put the beef on the bone in a saucepan, fill it with water and put it on fire. After boiling, be sure to remove the foam and cook the meat for 1 hour

At this time, we will prepare the vegetables, namely finely chop the onion and grate the carrots

Cut the peeled potato tubers into cubes. Pour potatoes into the finished broth, cook for 15 minutes

Fry the onions and carrots in a pan with hot oil until golden brown. Then add sauerkraut to the vegetables and fry for another 3-4 minutes

Then put in tomato paste or pour in homemade tomato juice, stir and simmer for 10 minutes

Now we transfer all the vegetables to the broth with potatoes, add salt and pepper to taste and cook for 10 minutes

Separate the meat from the bone and return it back together with the bay leaves

Cook the cabbage soup for another 1 minute, turn off the fire, and insist the finished dish for 10-15 minutes

If the sauerkraut is very sour, you can rinse it under running water or simply soak it. A vegetable that is too sour can ruin the dish.
