Traditional Russian Sour Cabbage Soup Recipe

Recipe By The Spruce Eats

Fresh cabbage soup or shchi (shee) and sour cabbage (sauerkraut) soup or kislye shchi are two traditional russian soups. There also is a green shchi made with sorrel, spinach, and other greens, which is known as zelyoniye shchi in russian. As with most dishes, the recipes vary from cook to cook and from region to region. This sour cabbage soup recipe is made with fresh pork shoulder and smoked pork spareribs. Some cooks make theirs with beef brisket and cracked beef marrow bones.
