Cut the beets and carrots into thin strips. If the straw does not work or you want to save time, grate the vegetables on a large grater. Slightly fry beets and carrots on vegetable oil, and then add tomato paste diluted in half a glass of water to them. The gas under the frying pan is reduced and we leave the beets and carrots stew. Potatoes should be cleaned and cut into cubes.

Slice the cabbage thinly and send it into a saucepan. Remove the sweet pepper from the seeds, cut into cubes and send it to borsch. When potatoes and cabbage are almost ready, add to them a dressing of beets with carrots. Cover the borsch with a lid, lower the fire, let the borscht stand on a small fire for about an hour. Try it, enough salt.

Chicken meat cut into pieces and add to borsch.

Turn off the fire under the pots and let the borsch infusion.

When serving, add a spoonful of sour cream to a bowl of borscht. This is the easiest and tasty recipe for borsch with chicken at home.
