Canned Green Shchi (Spinach & Herb Soup Base) for the Winter

Make winter delicious — get canning! As the saying goes, "Winter will ask what you did all summer." So while there's still time, we try to put up a little of everything. Today I was canning shchi, and here's my recipe. For the record, this batch filled one 20-oz (600 ml) jar, so double or triple the amounts if you want more.

    1. Peel the onion and cut it into half-moons.
    1. Pour the olive oil into a deep skillet, heat it over the burner, then add the onion and cook until soft.
    1. Rinse the celery stalks and chop them into pieces about 1/4 inch (0.5 cm) thick. Add the celery to the onion and cook over medium heat for 15 minutes, stirring now and then.
    1. Seed the chili peppers (wear gloves), cut them into thin strips, and add them to the skillet with everything else.
    1. Rinse the spinach under running water, washing carefully into the folds of the leaves, and trim off any tough parts (if the greens are young, you can leave the stems). Cut the spinach into strips about 1/4 inch (5 mm) wide, add it to the skillet, and cook for 6–7 minutes (it'll shrink down quite a bit).
    1. Pack the fragrant shchi into clean, dry jars, set the lids on loosely, and place them in a roomy pot lined with a non-slip cloth on the bottom. Add hot water until it comes up to the jars' shoulders, then set the pot on the heat. Pasteurize in boiling water for 12 minutes.
    1. Turn the jars upside down, wrap them in a terry towel, and leave them until completely cool (about a day).
  • Store in a cool, dark place such as a cellar.
  • Enjoy your shchi!
