Botvinnia on water

1. Stage

Put a pot of water on the fire. Prepare the products. Wash the beet tops (I have them with small beets).

2. Stage

Peel the beets and cut into thin slices. Separate the stalks from the tops and cut into slices.

3. Stage

Chop the onion finely and fry in vegetable oil.

4. Stage

Cut carrots into small cubes or julienne.

5. Stage

Add the carrots to the onions and fry a little more until golden.

6. Stage

Cut the potatoes in slices and put them in boiling water.

7. Stage

As soon as it boils, add the beets and stems. Now I will write the exact time how long I boil after boiling, so that all the vegetables in the soup evenly cooked. Many people already do it by eye, but my friend asked me to tell her exactly in minutes, maybe someone will also be useful))) Bring to a boil and simmer on low heat for 6 minutes.

8. Stage

Add overcooking, salt and bring back to the boil and cook for 2 minutes.

9. Stage

During this time, cut the haulm.

10. Stage

And put it in the soup.

11. Stage

Also put chopped dill greens and green onions (this step can be skipped and added to the already ready soup when serving - who likes it better). After boiling, simmer on low heat for another 5 minutes. Remove the soup from the heat and let stand for about half an hour.

12. Stage

The soup turns out bright burgundy color, the electric lighting did not allow to convey the real coloring) Serve botvina with sour cream. Bon appetit and enjoy your summer mood!
