Ingredients

Step cooking

1. Pour the beef ribs with water, bring to a boil. We remove the foam, drain the first water, add 3 liters of pure water. After boiling, make the fire small, cook for 30 minutes. You can use any meat for borsch. Suitable beef on the bone, pork, chicken, lamb. The meat with bone makes the broth rich, useful for the stomach. But if this is not, use any of your choice.
   
2. For borscht you will need 2 large or 4 small beets. I wash the beets, peel them, cut into thin strips, send them to the meat, cook for 10 minutes. When choosing beets, give preference to sweet varieties. Then the soup will have a sweet taste. Also pay attention to the freshness of the product. Beets should be solid, maroon.
   
3. Wash the potatoes, peel them. Cut into four parts, then in half. You can chop the potatoes the way you are used to. We send to the pan, bring to a boil.
   
4. At this time, three medium onions are peeled, cut into quarter rings, sent to the pan, covered with a lid. After boiling, reduce the heat to a minimum, cook for three minutes.
   
5. Season with tomatoes. The best will be a mixture of salted, dried and roasted tomatoes. To do this, peel one pickled tomato, peel it with a spoon.
   
6. Mix it with fried fresh or sun-dried tomato. Add tomatoes to the borscht, mix, try on acid.
   
7. If not enough, you can still add tomato paste, ketchup or canned tomatoes. When adding tomatoes, consider your preferences for the final taste. If this type of tomato is not there, just add the tomato paste and 1-2 tablespoons of 9% vinegar or lemon juice so that there is sourness. Mix well, let it boil for 3-4 minutes.
   
8. Add 2 slices of salted bacon, let it boil for a couple more minutes. Fat should not be the first freshness, but not very old.
   
9. If there is, cut a bunch of parsley, send to the soup. Spices are added at our discretion. Borsch "Kvasok" is considered ready-made already in this form, but if you want, you can add salt, pepper, garlic. When serving in a serving plate, put mayonnaise or sour cream to the borsch.
