SHCHI - RUSSIAN CABBAGE SOUP
Shchi has been a Russian staple for centuries for many reasons. It is very cheap, easily changed according to what ingredients are available, keeps well, and has many vitamins and minerals in each serving. It can be made with meat or vegetarian. This is my version of the recipe :)

Steps:
- Core and shred the green cabbage.
- Peel and chop the garlic.
- Peel and chop the potatoes into large chunks.
- Peel and chop the onions.
- Wash and chop the tomatoes.
- Peel and dice the radishes.
- Wash and slice the leek into thin circles.
- Peel and grate the carrot.
- Melt the butter in a large pot or pan.
- Add garlic, onion, radish, leek and carrot. Saute on high heat approximately 5-10 minutes until vegetables have softened.
- Add beef stock (vegetable stock or water) and bring to a boil.
- Add green cabbage, potatoes, tomatoes, bay leaves, black peppercorns, and caraway seed.
- Reduce heat to low and cover. Simmer for approximately one hour or until all vegetables are done, stirring occasionally.
- Remove and discard bay leaves.
- Finely chop dill and/or parsley.
- Ladle into bowls.
- Add a dollop of sour cream (or smetana) on top and sprinkle with chopped dill and/or parsley.
- Ideally, refrigerate after cooling and wait 1-2 days to serve as shchi is usually allowed to "cure" for a short time. In my opinion, it tastes great fresh or re-heated. Can also be served cold.
- Pumpernickel or rye bread and butter make a great side.
- Refrigerate any leftovers.
SHCHI
This classic Russian soup is rich and full of complex flavors. While there are probably as many versions as there are families, the key ingredient is always sauerkraut. (It's best served with a whole head of soured cabbage, but you're going to have trouble finding that; just stick with good sauerkraut, sold in bulk or in plastic packages, which contains nothing but cabbage and salt.) This is one of those soups that pretty much requires good stock, and it's nice to make it especially for this dish, because the beef is a good addition. If you don't have time (or you're a vegetarian), use premade stock or make a quick vegetable stock with the bay leaf, parsley, carrots, onions, and celery.

Steps:
- Put the beef, bay leaf, parsley, and half the carrots, onions, and celery in a large saucepan with 7 cups cold water. Bring the mixture to a boil, then lower the heat and simmer for at least an hour, longer if you have time. Remove the beef from the stock and set aside; when it's cool, chop it roughly. Strain the stock, discarding the vegetables.
- Lightly rinse the sauerkraut and drain well. Melt the butter in a large, heavy saucepan or flameproof casserole over medium heat. Add the remaining carrots, onion, and celery and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic, mushrooms, sauerkraut, and cabbage and cook, stirring occasionally, for about 10 minutes. Add the potato, beef cubes, and reserved stock and simmer for another 30 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender. (You can prepare the soup up to this point in advance; let sit for a few hours or cover and refrigerate for up to 2 days before reheating and proceeding.) Add some salt and pepper, then ladle into bowls. Garnish with the dill and serve, passing the sour cream at the table.
