😍 Shchi — the soul of Russian cuisine! Today’s table features fragrant shchi, perfect for warming up any day! What you need (for 4-5 servings): fresh cabbage — 400 g (or sauerkraut for a tangy twist), potatoes — 3-4 pcs, carrot — 1 pc, onion — 1 pc, beef or chicken — 400 g (on the bone for a rich broth), tomato paste — 1-2 tbsp, garlic — 2 cloves, bay leaves — 2 pcs, salt, pepper — to taste, sour cream and herbs — for serving. How to make it: cook the broth — cover the meat with 2-3 liters of water, bring to a boil, skim the foam, and simmer for 1-1.5 hours, chop potatoes into cubes, shred the cabbage, grate the carrot, finely chop the onion, add potatoes and cabbage to the broth and cook for 15-20 minutes, sauté the onion and carrot, add tomato paste, simmer briefly, then add to the soup, 5 minutes before it’s done — toss in bay leaves, garlic, salt, and pepper, serve hot with sour cream and herbs! Why it’s love: shchi is comfort in every spoonful!
