It is understandable, because for half of the year it is cold in the territory, and meat broth with various vegetable ingredients is a great way to warm up and satisfy your appetite.
Meat broths themselves can be dietary or rich. Dietary broth is obtained if you cook it on chicken meat or beef, veal. When using pork or lamb, regardless of which part of the carcass is taken, the broth is more rich and fatty. Here, as they say, everything is already an amateur. The only thing is that the first dishes of Russian cuisine, recipes with photos show that they can be fatty, and are cooked in vegetable broth.
Vegetable broth for the first dishes in Russia was necessary, and the housewives knew how to cook herbs and vegetables deliciously. The fact is that always in the villages they tried to adhere to church posts. During these periods, it was impossible to eat meat, which means that it was impossible to cook first courses even on a light meat broth. Therefore, there are many recipes for vegetable soup and borscht, various types of soups. Of course, such dishes can unload the diet, help during the period of modern fasting, and they are simply indispensable for dietary nutrition.

Is it necessary to have lunch?
Conducted clinical studies show that it is impossible to completely refuse lunch. This can be harmful to health, lead to poor health, disruption of the digestive tract. However, nutritionists have found that heavy meals are no less harmful to health. They negatively affect performance, lead to a load on the cardiovascular system, cause drowsiness. Therefore, the key to good health is healthy, balanced and even diet meals.
- Many experts advise sticking to fractional nutrition - eat small portions 5-6 times a day. This will allow you not to overload the body.
- The diet should definitely include more fresh vegetables, fruits, herbs, vegetable oils, as well as protein products (non-fatty meats, seafood).
- Should avoid long intervals between meals. This contributes not only to weight gain, but also leads to stress.
- Be sure to eat hot food once a day, without giving up soup or a second course.
- Do not give up broths. Studies by nutritionists have shown that plain chicken broth contains a special enzyme called "lysocysm", which boosts immunity, allows you to fight colds and viruses.
What's best for lunch
Complex lunches
The most delicious and healthy lunch is a complex one, which includes three dishes:
First course
Hot soup. It is a mistake to believe that it takes a long time to prepare it. Of course, if you are going to serve branded Ukrainian borscht, it will take a lot of effort and take at least 1.5-2 hours, especially for beginners. But, simple and light soups can really be cooked in 30-45 minutes. It can be:
- chicken broths with croutons seasoned with fresh herbs or noodles;
- vegetable light soups;
- cheese soups without adding meat;
- mushroom soups.
Second course
As a rule, it consists of a side dish and a meat or fish dish. The easiest way is to cook porridge or pasta as a side dish. They take no more than 15 minutes. At this time, you can fry the minced meat on the stove or champignons with onions, and then mix with the side dish. In just 20 minutes, you will get navy pasta or buckwheat with mushrooms. You can bake pieces of fish fillet or chicken in the oven.
Third course
It can be compote or jelly, and the simplest is black tea.
Quick lunches
Of course, set meals are always more delicious and satisfying. But what if you don't have time at all? Maybe it's better to refuse food or have a snack in fast food? Do not rush to conclusions! Even in a hurry, in just 15 minutes you can prepare a balanced delicious lunch. These can be various vegetable salads, hot smoked fish, sandwiches with pieces of meat fillet and green lettuce, fresh juices and yogurts.

If there is a desire and time, then, of course, it is better to do it yourself. So that the preparation of such a dinner does not take much time, many experienced housewives prepare the filling in advance, and then store it in the freezer.
When all the products are prepared, a hole is cut in the middle of the potato with a knife, so that a “barrel” is obtained. Some make a cone, that is, they do not cut the bottom to the end. After that, the void is filled with minced meat, and placed in a deep saucepan, in which the vegetable will be cooked after.

After the water boils, the fire is reduced and extinguished. During this time, if desired, you can put carrots and onions to sauté, and then add them to the stew and bring to readiness.

The preparation of such a culinary masterpiece will not take much time. To begin with, you immediately need to prepare fresh mushrooms, rice, carrots, onions and a couple of cloves of garlic. Spices, salt and various spices are placed according to individual preference.
The rice is sorted and washed. Mushrooms are washed with running water and cut into large cubes. Carrots and onions are peeled and cut into small cubes. You can cook the dish in a cauldron or any deep container, but it is better in one that has a thick bottom.
Vegetable oil is poured to the bottom, and mushrooms are laid out, when they decrease in size, add carrots, onions and fry for 5 minutes. After that, spices, salt are added and rice is gently scattered over the surface. Then the liquid is poured. You can use water or vegetable stock.
The water should be two centimeters above the level of the rice. Next, reduce the heat to a minimum, close the container with a lid and leave to “languish”. Rice should be fully cooked and only then garlic cloves are stuck into it and the dish is turned off. Insist, such a dish for 15 minutes, after which you can serve.

From greens, it is best to take dill, because the combination of flavors then turns out to be just perfect. Water is poured into the pan and put on a strong fire, after salting. In the meantime, they wash, clean, cut the mushrooms (slices) and lightly stew them in a pan, but do not fry.
Carrots and onions are chopped into thin strips and fried in a pan until golden brown. So frying is necessary to enhance and improve the taste. Dill or other greens are finely chopped and left, because the greens are added only at the end. The aroma of the dish will depend on this. Spices are added to taste.
When the water boils, prepared mushrooms and fried vegetables are lowered there, boiled until cooked and seasoned with herbs at the end. When serving in a plate with fragrant soup, you can add a teaspoon of sour cream, but this will depend only on personal preferences.
Pasta with sauce
Of course, almost every housewife often prepares for lunch not only first courses, but also second courses. And here sometimes you can’t do without pasta, because almost everyone loved them so much. Moreover, in children, such a delicacy is the most favorite and delicious dish.
But in order to give boiled pasta independence when serving, it is not uncommon for chefs to prepare various liquid sauces that are very combined in taste with pasta. One of these dressings will be amateur sauce.
He prepares quickly. To do this, you need to take the following ingredients, calculated on 0.5 kg of boiled pasta:
- 200 g Boiled sausage (you can use sausages without additives, that is, without cheese, fat, and so on);
- two medium tomatoes (or a spoonful of tomato paste);
- bulb;
- carrot;
- salt and spices according to personal preference;
- 100 g of vegetable oil;
- a glass of cold water;
- a tablespoon of potato starch.
Cooking
Many people know how to boil pasta, but for beginners it should be noted. According to the rules that cooks use, pasta must be washed with boiling water after cooking, although many housewives make deviations in this regard and often wash it with cold running water. How to cook chooses each for himself.
If we proceed from the correct position of the technological processes of cooking pasta, then they are laid in boiling salted water, boiled until cooked and then washed with boiling water. After that, all the liquid is drained with a colander, and the finished products are transferred to a deep container. You can sprinkle with vegetable or butter so that they do not stick together with each other.
Next, you need to prepare the sauce for this side dish. To do this, the sausage is cut into not very large strips. Carrots and onions are peeled and cut into thin strips (onions in half rings). After that, carrots are first laid out on a preheated pan, it will give color (fried a little), onions are added, fried almost until cooked and sausage and sliced \u200b\u200btomatoes are added.
During this time, starch is dissolved in half a glass of cold water so that no lumps form, diluted with the rest of the water and poured into fried vegetables with sausage, mixed, tasted and the necessary spices are added. The sauce should thicken a little, then it is turned off, it is ready.
Not infrequently, many lovers of this dish, when frying vegetables, put pickled cucumber (or pickled) chopped into thin strips, because it gives the dish a special zest, but not everyone may like this additive, therefore, before trying, it is better to add pickled cucumber to a small amount of sauce and try and then experiment. When serving, pasta is laid out around the plate, and the sauce is poured into the middle and sprinkled with chopped herbs.

Fragrant "Ukha"
Of course, such a dish as "Ukha" is very famous for its diversity. But for lunch, you can choose the classic fast food option. As you know, each fish has its own characteristics of taste and approach to cooking. Not infrequently, many housewives prefer to cook such a fragrant treat in nature, but, unfortunately, on everyday life one can only dream of this, because there is simply no time to spend a lot of time in the kitchen.
That is why it is very convenient to cook hot fish. It cooks quickly and you can use soup sets or heads for this. Everything will depend on which fish the “Ukha” will be cooked from. Such a dish can be considered common from the head of “salmon” or “pink salmon”.
Of course, it should be noted that such fish as "salmon" has a higher fat content, so this nuance should be taken into account when choosing an ingredient for your dish. For cooking you will need:
- head of pink salmon (or other fish);
- several potatoes;
- one large carrot;
- one head of onion;
- vegetable oil 3 tablespoons;
- green onion feather;
- black pepper and salt.
Cooking
Gills, eyes and, if present, scales are removed from the head of the fish. Then they are washed in cold water, freeing them from blood clots (the transparency of the broth will depend on this). The semi-finished product is placed in a deep saucepan, poured with water and put on a strong fire. They don't salt.
I would like to note that when preparing first courses, it is preferable to salt the broths after they are cooked. This is done so that all nutrients and valuable substances freely pass into the liquid (that is, into the water in which the ingredient is boiled). If you do it right away, then most of the nutrients will be retained, for example, in meat or fish, that is, depending on what the broth is cooked from.
It is not uncommon for many cooks to first soak the meat or fish in cold water before making a good broth. After that, they drain the liquid, pour in a new portion of fresh water, and then they boil the broth. Then it turns out transparent, not cloudy. Such subtleties in cooking will help every housewife to prepare a worthy dish.
After all the steps are performed correctly and the broth is ready, the head is removed, and the broth is filtered, because small bones could get into the liquid during cooking. While the broth was cooking, you need to prepare the vegetables, that is, pre-clean them, rinse, cut, chop and fry until golden brown. Potatoes after peeling and slicing must be stored in cold water so that they do not turn black.
Next, the strained broth is brought to a boil, potatoes and vegetables are added to it. If desired, you can add black allspice with peas and bay leaf, then the dish will be saturated with a special aroma. When serving, sprinkle with chopped green onions.
Cooking fast is not always difficult, just some subtleties and little things at first glance scare away novice housewives. And after several times of preparing such simple dishes from simple products, these culinary masterpieces will surely seem the simplest and most uncomplicated. In any case, cooking is an art, so try to do it not only tasty, but also right.
