I want to say that I like this recipe for cooking borscht in the microwave not only for its amazing speed and ease of preparation, but also because thanks to quick cooking, such borscht will retain a maximum of vitamins, and this is so important, especially during the vegetable season, when They are finally in large quantities and without “any chemicals.” And if you consider that in the summer you don’t want to stand near the stove for a long time, then again, you will like this “light” version of borscht.

How to cook borscht in the microwave, step-by-step instructions:
1. First, let's prepare our vegetables. Wash the beets, carrots, potatoes, tomatoes and peppers, peel them and cut them into cubes. Although it is better to chop the beets and carrots in a blender, or grate them on a fine grater.
2. Place the prepared vegetables in a microwave-safe pan, add half a glass of clean water, and simmer under the lid for 15-20 minutes at medium power.
3. As soon as all the vegetables are well stewed, pour broth on top of them, add salt, pepper and spices to taste, and also add beans.
4. Now mix again and microwave for 10 minutes under the lid on low power.

That's all! Quick, but still just as bright and flavorful borscht is ready in the microwave! Garnish it with herbs, sour cream, and serve! By the way, if we cook it in water instead of broth, we will get no less red, but lean and dietary borscht. But if, on the contrary, you add diced smoked ham or boiled meat along with the beans, the borscht will turn out more satisfying and rich. Experiment! Good luck :)

The most delicious borscht with fresh cabbage will be ready in just 10-15 minutes if you cook it in advance and use the microwave. Let’s not argue with the assertion of some housewives that cooked on the stove is much tastier, because taste is a subjective concept. And if we also take into account the negative (unfounded) attitude towards microwaves, then the concept of “delicious” moves into a different plane altogether.

We want to give a recipe for how to cook delicious borscht with fresh cabbage, which can be useful for both an inexperienced and an experienced home cook.

By the way, you don’t have broth, but you need to make lunch; borscht will be tasty even with water. Moreover, you can cook it in small quantities, literally at a time. The hot first course - borscht with fresh cabbage - will be exactly the spoon you need for lunch.

Many people add beans. If you are one of them, then make sure that it is already prepared if you are not using a jar. Add it with all the vegetables at once.

Prepared in a microwave with a maximum power of 700 W

Recipe Ingredients

• 1 small beet;
• 1 carrot;
• 1 onion;
• 2 potatoes;
• ¼ fork fresh cabbage;
• broth (water);
• 1-2 tbsp. l. vegetable oil;
• 3-4 pinches of salt;
• 1 tsp. granulated sugar;
• 0.5 tsp. vinegar 9%;
• 2 bay leaves.

How to cook delicious borscht (with photo)

Peel the potato tubers and rinse them in water, cut into large cubes, place in a saucepan/deep microwave-safe bowl.

Peel the onion and rinse. Cut into small cubes and place in a container.

Grate the peeled and washed carrots on a coarse grater. Hers too – for vegetables.

Do the same with beets.

Mix all the fresh ingredients, add salt, granulated sugar and vegetable oil. Granulated sugar will add sweetness to the boiled beets. Vegetable oil is needed more if you cook with water.

Pour in the broth (hot water), leaving it a few fingers short, so that you can skim off the foam during cooking. Add bay leaves for flavor. You can add a few peas of allspice and ready-made seasonings for borscht (soup).

Place the container in the microwave and turn it on for 7-10 minutes, setting it to maximum.

At the signal from the device, remove and skim off the foam. Shred fresh cabbage and place in a bowl. Immediately pour in 9% vinegar - it will help the dish maintain its burgundy color, since when adding cabbage, borscht tends to change color from dark red to orange, and acid prevents this!

Place the container back into the microwave for 3-5 minutes. After taking it out, taste it and adjust it with salt or sugar if required.

Pour the hot first dish into portioned plates and serve. For spicy lovers, offer hot peppers, garlic or green onions. Don’t forget about sour cream or mayonnaise – they add incredible flavor to borscht with fresh cabbage!

Enjoy your hot and tasty lunch!
