I invite everyone to hot Vologda cabbage soup!
My grandparents are from the Vologda region, the village of Babaevo. And then we lived in Cherepovets, also in the Vologda region. And this wonderful recipe was brought from there. I still have a recipe written by my grandmother when I was still in school. I keep it as a keepsake.
Modern capabilities have made it possible to significantly simplify the recipe for preparing cabbage soup base. Unfortunately, I didn’t think of photographing the process in the fall. I'll try to describe it. During the cabbage fermenting season, there are a lot of top green leaves left over. I collect them, wash them well, and cut off everything that is damaged or chewed by caterpillars. I cut the sheets into pieces approximately 10x10, but the size is not important. Pour rye flour into the bottom of the container (I have an enamel bucket) to cover the bottom. then the principle of sauerkraut: the leaves are laid, sprinkled with salt and always sprinkled with salt and rye flour. If you can’t find rye flour, you can use regular flour and then crumble the black crusts from the bread. I already skip the scalding process (to soften the leaves), since I have a pressure cooker and the leaves are boiled anyway. This leaven is pressed for 4-5 days. There is no need to stir and pierce it like sauerkraut. After this, I wash the leaves to remove flour and chop them into coarse powder using a food processor. (As a child, this was chopped with a chop in a special wooden box).
I put the chopped base into jars and compact it. If there is not enough juice, you can add salt water. You can store it either in a cool place or put it not in jars but in portioned bags and on the balcony - freezing is not a problem.
The entire duration of the preparation more than pays off during cooking. There are different cooking options. In our family, everything is done extremely simply. I put the rich bone with meat into the pressure cooker. I add finely chopped lard, preferably not salted (for fat content). Do not cut medium potatoes (so as not to overcook them). and cabbage crumble. There is no need for salt - the cabbage is salted, you can then add salt to the prepared cabbage soup to taste. I close it and after boiling, simmer for an hour on the lowest heat. Everything is ready! Grandmother took out the potatoes, pounded them and put them back into the cabbage soup. I like to put it in round pieces and press it into the plate myself. Serve with sour cream, generously sprinkle with black pepper, if you like a bit of garlic, a glass if desired. The result is an amazingly tasty dish that will make you feel hot and you won’t be afraid of any cold in winter.
In the photo that I managed to photograph - guests came, no one leaves without something)))
