In autumn and winter it is especially pleasant to enjoy hot and aromatic soups.
A special place is occupied by cabbage soup based on sauerkraut.
This traditional dish is loved by many for its simplicity, taste and health benefits. For this reason, the online publication BelNovosti's expert on culinary issues, chef Yulia Arkhipova, revealed the main secrets of the soup.
What do they consist of?
Roasting vegetables
In order for the cabbage soup to be as tasty and aromatic as possible, the carrots and onions need to be fried. However, in order for a pleasant flavor to appear, it is recommended to add one spoon of tomato paste.
This simple ingredient will simply transform the cabbage soup.
Roasting cabbage
This is also a very simple and affordable way to make the cabbage soup more delicious. To make the soup more rich and aromatic, the sauerkraut should also be fried.
This happens in a separate frying pan.
Spices
Shchi should not be spoiled with a large amount of spices: because of this, the taste and aroma of the dish will simply cease to be classic. It is enough to add a little black pepper and a couple of bay leaves.
