Cabbage soup
Description
A hearty soup dish. You can prepare cabbage borscht at home using any meat broth; mixed meat such as pork and poultry works great. Instead of fresh tomato, you can use tomato sauce or a spicy sauce like adjika, especially if the dish is intended only for adults. Garlic adds a special piquancy, so feel free to add more. Serve the soup hot.
