Yea, its a pretty great dish, not sure why it isn't more popular here in Murrica. Very healthy, filling, inexpensive, and relatively easy to make. Make sure to add the sour cream to it though, I thought it would be gross til I tried it. And dill seeds, use those.

russia soup is best soup

Shchi soup is best soup

i've got just the thing anon, it is one of my favorite dishes and is high in protein and veggies. it is called shchi, and is a traditional russian soup. imagine a beef stew but with better veggies. as long as you can cut vegetables then its pretty hard to fuck this up

what you will need:
a pound or so of stew meat
one potato, cubed
one turnip, skinned and cubed
one white onion, diced
one bulb of garlic, crushed
two carrots, sliced
one largish parsnip, sliced
two leeks, sliced
one medium head of cabbage, shredded
a cup or two of mushrooms, sliced
some chopped parsley
salt and pepper
two cans of beef broth (or better yet make your own)
some dill seed
a tub of sour cream

alright start out by browning your meat, sautee your garlic as you brown the beef. add the beef, garlic, two cans of beef broth, chopped onion, salt, pepper, and a few cups of water to your pot. cover and cook on very low heat for maybe 3 hours. open it up, stir, and add all of your chopped vegetables. add salt and pepper until the liquid is seasoned to your liking. cover and cook for another 3-4 hours on very low heat. by this point it should be cooked. laddle it into a bowl and garnish it with some chopped parsley, a teaspoon of dill seed, and a tablespoon of sour cream on top. trust me on the sour cream, it will really mellow out the taste and will provide a bit of fat and calcium.

and there you have it! the best thing about this recipe is how healthy and delicious it is, but also that there is no perfect way to make it. you can vary the amounts of each veggie and stuff. packed full of vitamins, fibers, and proteins, it is a low calorie, hearty, and inexpensive meal. oh ya, and it gets even better when it "strikes", it tastes best 2-3 days after its made. one pot lasts me about a week. good luck!!!

look into making shchi. its one of my favorite things to cook and eat. if you want i can give you my recipe.

Shchi is the best soup! I make it once a month! One pot lasts me a week! And I can make a pot for 20 dollars! It is so healthy!
