Chengwei Russian Red Soup
1.
When preparing the ingredients, it’s really not something as little as traditional borscht. You need carrots, beef shank (because of less oil, explained later.), mushrooms, tomatoes, potatoes, cabbage, star anise, cinnamon, Bay leaves, tomato sauce.
2.
Shredded cabbage, suddenly wanted to make a shredded cabbage.
3.
Cut the beef into small pieces. Normally, many people choose sirloin meat for this dish, but the sirloin meat is a bit oily. I hope it will be healthier when I eat it. I chose beef tendon meat.
4.
Mushrooms cut into thick slices
5.
Cut carrots and potatoes with a hob.
6.
The cut carrots and potatoes are developed with a small amount of salt, mainly to keep the moisture inside.
7.
Cut the tomatoes and put sugar to make them into white sugar tomatoes. Haha, plus the shredded cabbage just now, I think it can be served directly.
Adding sugar here is to hope that the taste of sugar is embedded in the taste of tomatoes, and there is no need to add sugar when making soup.
8.
So the ingredients are ready.
9.
Cook the beef first, change the water again and boil it again, let the beef soften on low heat for 20 minutes.
10.
Turn to high heat and add in, potatoes and tomatoes, and a small amount of wine.
11.
Put the lid on immediately after adding the wine to let the lees stay in the soup.
12.
Then add bay leaves, cinnamon and star anise.
13.
There are tomatoes and ketchup.
14.
Cover the lid and cook for another 20 minutes (turn to low heat when the water is boiled)
15.
Then add the mushrooms and cook for 10 minutes
16.
Turn off the heat and add the cabbage before serving, and use the hot soup to boil the vegetables.
17.
So this Russian red soup is ready. Serve with some basil leaves. Very delicious.
