Steps

1.Making the broth

Place the chicken in a pan of water and simmer the broth for about 40-50 minutes. After boiling, skim off the foam or pour off the first water to clear the broth. Peel the carrots and beets, grate the beets, and chop the carrots finely. Peel the potatoes and cut them into cubes.

2.Boiling potatoes

Add the chopped potatoes to the chicken broth and simmer until tender (20-25 minutes). While the potatoes are cooking, start frying.

3.Preparing the roast

Place onions and carrots in a heated frying pan with vegetable oil and fry them for 2 minutes. Then add the beets and fry for another 3 minutes. Pour in the chopped tomatoes and tomato paste, simmer the vegetables under the lid for a couple of minutes.

4.To

If the sauerkraut is sour, rinse it under water. Add cabbage to the frying pan. Pour in a few ladles of hot broth from the pan and simmer the vegetables for another 10 minutes under the lid. Add grated garlic at the end.

5.ne

When the potatoes are soft, add the bay leaf and fry to the pan. Cook the borscht for another 5 minutes. At the very end, add spices and herbs to avoid oversalting, since sauerkraut already contains salt.
