Sour shchi made with beef broth and braised sauerkraut. They taste even better after standing.

Method

Cover the beef with 2 l of cold water, bring to a boil and skim the foam. Add the bay leaf and cook over low heat for about 1.5 hours.
Chop the onion, grate the carrot and fry in oil for 5 minutes. Add the squeezed sauerkraut (rinse it if it is very sour) and simmer for 10–15 minutes.
Add the tomato paste and sugar, stir and cook for another 2–3 minutes.
Strain the broth and cut the meat. Boil the diced potatoes in the broth for 10–15 minutes.
Add the cabbage with the vegetables, the meat and the chopped garlic, then add salt and pepper. Cook for 5 minutes.
Remove from the heat, sprinkle with chopped parsley and let the shchi stand covered for 20 minutes.
