Description

The recipe won't take much time. Before you start cooking the borscht, be sure to taste the sauerkraut. If it's too sour, cover it with water and add a little baking soda. It will neutralize the excess acidity; after that, rinse the sauerkraut thoroughly. You can prepare this borscht using any meat, even chicken. This time I cooked it with pork stew. In addition to dill, you can add any fresh herbs to suit your taste. The soup is ready to serve.
