Onion soup with cabbage and lemon
Ingredients for Onion Soup with Cabbage and Lemon:
- Onions (medium size, weight about 750g) - 10 pcs.
- White cabbage / Cabbage - 500 g
- Vegetable oil – 100 ml
- Carrots - 1 pc.
- Water - 1 l
- Salt (to taste)
- Black pepper (peas, to taste, approximately) - 4-5 pcs.
- Bay leaf - 1 piece
- Wheat flour / Flour - 3 tbsp. l.
- Dill (for serving)
- Lemon juice (for serving, a must – it really enriches the taste, for 1 serving – juice from a fairly thick circle of lemon)
Recipe for Onion Soup with Cabbage and Lemon:
- I’ll say right away that I prepared the soup with half the ingredients. It turned out to be 3 normal servings of soup.
- We prepare the products. Cut the onion into small cubes.
- Cut the cabbage into strips.
- I grated the carrots on a coarse grater.
- Take a saucepan (or saucepan) with a thick bottom, preferably. Heat the oil in it, leaving a couple of spoons for frying the flour. Fry the onion in oil, stirring it constantly. Don't let the onions burn!!! Fry the onion until translucent and lightly golden – it will become soft and the bitterness will come out of it.
- Fill the onion with water, bring to a boil, add cabbage, stir, bring to a boil again, add carrots, bay leaves, pepper and salt to taste. Bring to a boil and cook until tender over low heat, covered. My soup took a little less than 15 minutes to cook until done.
- Heat a couple of tablespoons of vegetable oil in a frying pan and, stirring constantly, fry the flour in it until the characteristic smell of roasted nuts. I can’t write more precisely, but when you smell this smell, you’ll understand. Add flour to the soup, stir, bring to a boil and remove from heat. I let the soup sit for another 5 minutes.
- When serving, sprinkle with finely chopped dill and add the juice of a circle of lemon to each plate. Lemon juice greatly changes the taste of the soup, making it more interesting and slightly sour. That is, I tried it without lemon, but I liked it much better with lemon.
- The soup turns out thick, the consistency reminded me of Eintopf, i.e. it can be successfully consumed for dinner. And yet, despite the fact that the soup is meatless, even my husband liked it, which I was extremely surprised by. )
- Bon appetit!

Origin of fresh cabbage soup
The dish was born within Russian cuisine and has been known for a long time. Presumably the word “cabbage soup” comes from the Old Russian “s’ti”. This name united all nutritious liquid dishes or thick breads. Cabbage soup is also called: borscht shti, shti, turnip shti, cabbage shti. It is believed that they appeared back in the 19th century, when white cabbage was brought from Byzantium.
The poor population prepared cabbage soup from everything that was at hand: they used meat trimmings, crushed lard, turnips, onions, and rye flour. For the elite, cabbage soup was prepared from meat, cabbage, noble fish, mushrooms, various herbs and roots, and also based on a sour dressing.
During its existence, the recipe for cabbage soup has reached us almost in its original form. The only thing that was removed was the flour-based roux, which added thickness to the soup. The range of spices used has also increased.
