Cuban Soup of Duck Recipe
Very rich and fragrant Cuban duck soup. The recipe is from my grandmother, a real Kuban Cossack. No matter how many times I try to cook this soup under her guidance, it still doesn't work, because it doesn't work. She adds all the ingredients "by eye" and says it all depends on experience. But by trial and error, I managed to get as close to my result as possible, and I will be happy to share this recipe with you.

Instructions
  1. I use homemade duck as the base for the broth. Since the duck's meat and skin are very greasy, I'll only take 3 pieces. For a 3-liter pot of borscht, one duck thigh weighing 200 grams will be enough. Rinse the meat, put it on medium heat and cook for 40 minutes after boiling.

  2. Onions are cut into half rings, Bulgarian pepper cubes, carrots and beets with straws, in the Kuban version, instead of the usual table beet, buryak or Borak is used, the so-called borsch variety of beetroot, which has a pink color and white streaks.
