You can cook green borscht at any time of the year, but it is most delicious, of course, in spring. Well, who would refuse a plate of fragrant borscht made from fresh sorrel. There are many options for preparing this first course. My family always cooked a classic version of borscht with sorrel, but when I was visiting I had to try this dish with tomato paste and beets. I was very impressed by the recipe - the borscht turns out to be rich in taste and aroma. Therefore, now I cook the green borscht like this, but I do not forget the classics either.

If you are already imbued with thoughts about the first course, let's see what we need for it.

The first step in preparing any first course is to cook the broth. We will not deviate from tradition. Fill the ribs with water and cook. After boiling, skim off the foam and season with salt. Cook for 40 minutes over medium heat. Borscht will have an interesting taste if you take smoked ribs. Boil the eggs immediately.

While the broth is being cooked, an experienced hostess has time to clean and cut everything. Let's keep up with the experienced ones and get down to business. Peel the onions, carrots and beets immediately. Let's cut them into cubes or strips.

Heat vegetable oil in a skillet. Lay out the onion and sauté until transparent. Then add carrots and beets to it. Sauté vegetables for 7 minutes over medium heat. If you took tomato paste for cooking, then add it at this stage to frying. If you have fresh tomatoes, use them, just peel them off.

Now you can peel and chop the potatoes. Fill the potatoes with water if it is too early to throw them into the borscht. When the broth is ready, remove the ribs and cut the meat from them as soon as they cool. We send the potatoes to the broth.
