Schi (Russian Cabbage Soup) image

This is a thick, hearty, stew-like soup that is traditionally served with boiled potatoes; my mother's family came from Russia and always made this soup. It's great to put on the stove or in the crockpot in the late morning, do a big project in the meantime, and serve for supper.

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 head cabbage, cut into small wedges
1 (24 ounce) jar sauerkraut, drained and rinsed

I'm a vegetarian and I love this schchi. I just omit the meat and add some extra vegetables. It's still just as delicious.

I made this schchi in my slow cooker and it turned out great. The cabbage was fall-apart tender and the broth was so rich and flavorful. I'll definitely be making this again.

I'm not a big fan of cabbage, but this schchi was really good. The broth is so flavorful and the cabbage is tender and not at all bitter.
