Step 4
In ten minutes, add grated garlic and chopped leaves of Chinese cabbage to the soup. I add the top of the Chinese cabbage at the very end, as it is very tender. Cook for another five minutes. At the end, throw in the fresh herbs.

You can let the soup sit for about half an hour. This allows the ingredients and their juices to settle. During this time, the borscht develops its so-called "soul." Serve with sour cream!
