Description of preparation:
Borscht with kvass can be prepared not only with pork, but also with beef and even chicken. It is best to take sweet and sour kvass, this will add acidity and sweetness to the borscht at the same time. For spiciness, you can add garlic or hot pepper. Serve with sour cream or mayonnaise.

Wash the meat and place in a saucepan. Pour water into the pan, bring to a boil over medium heat, add salt and cook for one hour.
Peel the beets and grate them on a coarse grater, chop the onions to your taste. Pour vegetable oil into a frying pan, add onions and 150 grams of beets. Pour half of the kvass into the vegetables and place on low heat. Cover everything with a lid and simmer for 20 minutes. Be careful not to burn and add a little broth if necessary.
Remove the finished meat, strain the broth and pour into a clean saucepan. Cut the cabbage into thin strips and add to the boiling broth. Cook everything for 10 minutes.
