Borscht from red cabbage
Description
Hearty and aromatic soup. I suggest cooking a delicious and fragrant borscht from red cabbage. I make borscht without meat, making the dish more nutritious. However, those who prefer meat broth can use any kind of meat for this borscht. The vegetable set is standard: potatoes, onion, beet, and carrot. Use any fresh herbs for garnish. Serve the soup hot.
