Over here I have chopped up my onions, garlic and some peppers. I'm also going to be using this kapusta with sour cabbage. It's something that you can get in store. There's different types one with carrots, one without carrots. Just choose which one you like. Here I've got a giant piece of pork loin, so I'm just gonna chop it up into smaller pieces. You can pretty much use any meat but it is very traditional to have a sour cabbage soup with pork. Because we're using loin, it's a bit leaner than any other type of pork. So just cut it up into smaller bite-sized pieces and just like so. I use quite big chunks because I add one or two pieces into my soup and meal prep especially now that it's getting colder. I love these types of soup, they warm you up and it's just nice and autumny. Add a bit of oil into your pan and we're gonna start frying our onions and garlic with peppers first for a couple of minutes or so. Mix it through and just wait. I kind of just leave it for about five to seven minutes to stew I like it nice and sort of caramelized flavor then you want to add your vegetable or chicken stock it's completely up to you I just crushed mine in my hand and I add it straight away into my vegetables and you can also add more seasonings such as salt pepper or any other spices that you like then we're going to start adding our meat straight away inside and I'm just going to mix everything together to make sure it's nice and coated all the seasoning is distributed we're going to cook this uh just for a few minutes until the meat starts to um you know release some juices the fat will be cooking so it will be nice and delicious next after five to ten minutes we're going to start adding our sour cabbage so i'm using the one with carrots if you're using the plain one you can always just add grated carrot in there so once you've added your sour cabbage just add a couple of liters of water so this pot is around two liters of water so that's how much i'm gonna add so once you've added your cabbage first just leave it there and then just add remaining water after that you'll be able to mix this through a bit easier so just kind of go ahead and mix all your stuff and we're going to cook this for about 30 minutes or so the soup cooks pretty quickly so just cook it on a medium to low heat and if it starts to bubble just reduce the heat after 30 minutes or so it's done you can see it will actually smell amazing in your house you will see that the cabbage has softened and we have beautiful pork cabbage soup done these meals freeze really well so you can freeze it up three months and i love using it as a meal prep because sometimes i just can't be bothered to cook so having nice hot soup just ready um is a perfect idea for me so this makes eight portions um just fill it up you can obviously have it and just eat it within a couple of days in your fridge if you have a big family otherwise just meal prep it and enjoy
