Cabbage Soup (Shchi)
This Russian cabbage soup, known as Shchi, is a warming and straightforward meal built around tender cabbage and root vegetables simmered in a savory vegetable stock. It starts by creating a base of sautéed onions, carrots, and celery, then adds potatoes and tomatoes to cook until everything is soft. The soup comes together in about 40 minutes, making it a good option for a weeknight. Serve it with a dollop of sour cream and a sprinkle of fresh dill for a bright finish.
