Cook: 45 mins

Servings: 4

Ingredients

  • Chicken fillet – 350 g
  • Pumpkin – 80-100 g
  • Beets – 100 g
  • White cabbage – 200 g
  • Potatoes – 150 g
  • Onions – 50 g
  • Garlic – 1-2 cloves
  • Bay leaf – 1 pc.
  • Vegetable oil – 30 ml
  • Tomato paste – 1-2 tbsp
  • Fresh greens – to taste
  • Salt to taste
  • Ground black pepper – to taste
  • Water – 1.5 l

Directions

  1. Pour the chicken fillet in a saucepan with water, add bay leaves, a sprig of herbs, and salt.
  2. Bring water to a boil and skim off the foam. Reduce heat to low and cook chicken for 15-20 minutes. Cook the chicken on the bone a little longer, 25-30 minutes (then the chicken meat can be separated from the bone).
  3. Peel and cut the potatoes into random pieces. Dip the potatoes in the broth and cook for 5 minutes.
  4. Chop the cabbage. Add the cabbage to the pot and cook for another 7-10 minutes.
  5. Peel the onions, beets, and pumpkin. Cut the onion into cubes. Grate the beets and pumpkin on a coarse grater.
  6. Heat vegetable oil in a skillet. Fry the onion, stirring occasionally, for 3-4 minutes. Then add pumpkin and beets. You can add a pinch of sugar to enhance the taste. Add tomato paste. Stir and cook for 2-3 minutes.
  7. Then pour in about 50 ml of broth from a saucepan and simmer the dressing until all vegetables are soft, about 10 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Transfer the dressing to the broth, bring to a boil and simmer for a couple of minutes.
  8. Peel and chop the garlic. Chop the herbs finely. Add garlic and herbs to a saucepan, stir and remove from heat. Cover the pot with a lid and let the borscht brew for 5-10 minutes.
  9. Remove the chicken fillet from the broth and fiber or cut it into pieces. Return to saucepan.
  10. Pour the chicken and pumpkin borscht into bowls and serve. Enjoy your meal!
