Step 1
How to cook cabbage soup from sauerkraut and beef? Prepare all the ingredients you will need to prepare cabbage soup. Take the beef on the bone, in this case you will get a rich and aromatic broth. I used beef flesh and bone separately.

Step 2

Step 2
Rinse the beef and place in a pan of suitable size. The article at the end of the recipe will help you with choosing a pan. Fill with cold water. Adjust the amount of water as desired depending on how thick the soup you want to end up with. Place the pan on the stove. Bring everything to a boil over high heat. Remove the foam using a large spoon.

Place peeled onions and carrots into the pan. Reduce the flame to low and simmer the broth for about 1.5-2 hours. Open the lid slightly to allow steam to escape. The beef should become soft.
