Introduction
A unique and refreshing summer variation of traditional Ukrainian red borscht. It combines a rich chicken broth with tender garden vegetables, cabbage stewed in thick sour cream, and sweet fresh strawberries for a delightful seasonal twist.
Step 1
Pour water into a large cast-iron pot (Kazan) over a wood fire and add the whole chicken to boil and create a rich broth.
Step 2
Peel the beetroots, slice them into thin half-moons, and cut the beetroot stalks into small pieces.
Step 3
Place the sliced beets and stalks in a separate pan. Add a splash of broth/water, a bit of oil, dried herbs, and salt, then stew until softened.
Step 4
Peel one whole onion and add it directly into the boiling chicken broth. Finely chop the second onion.
Step 5
In another pot, heat a bit of oil, add the chopped onions, and sauté. Then add the shredded cabbage and cook until tender.
Ingredients List
Important Notes
Beet greens and stalks add a wonderful earthy flavor and texture to the borscht, so do not discard them.
Stewing the beets separately with a touch of acid (like the natural juices) helps preserve their vibrant red color before adding them to the soup.
Adding fresh strawberries at the very end provides a gentle, sweet-tart contrast without making the soup overly sweet or mushy.
