1. Prepare food.

3. Reduce heat to low, cover. Cook the broth until the meat is tender (about an hour). The boiled meat can be removed, cut into pieces, and added to the soup.

7. Stir, continue to fry vegetables for another 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally.
8. Cut the cabbage into squares or strips.
9. Peel the potatoes, cut into small pieces.
10. Put cabbage, potatoes in broth and bring to a boil.
    (Add ripe cabbage with potatoes, put young cabbage in the soup 7 minutes before the end of cooking.)

12. Finely chop the greens.
13. Peel the garlic (if used), crush it with salt.
14. At the end of cooking, add pepper, bay leaf and, if desired, pounded garlic with salt to the soup.
