Canned Shchi Soup Base with Tomato Paste for the Winter

A really handy preserve to have on hand for winter — you've got to make it! A jar of canned shchi is a lifesaver: with it, throwing together a pot of soup is fast and easy. I keep a whole shelf in my cellar set aside just for jars like these.

  • Wash the cabbage and shred it. Peel and wash the onion and carrot. Cut the onion into half-moons and grate the carrot. Seed the bell pepper, remove the stem, rinse it under running water, and cut it into short sticks. Wash the tomatoes, cut out the stem end, and cut them into cubes.
  • Once all the vegetables are prepped, choose a good-sized pot, pour in the oil, and layer everything in: onion, cabbage, carrot, bell pepper, tomatoes.
  • Now add the salt, sugar, and pepper, stir in the tomato paste, and pour in a little water. Set the pot over the heat and simmer, covered, for 20 minutes. At this point you can stir the vegetables and let them stew another half hour. Right at the end, pour in the vinegar, keep it on the heat for a couple of minutes, then ladle the soup base into sterilized jars and seal with sterile lids. Turn them upside down right away, cover with a warm blanket, and leave for a day.
  • Store the jars in a cool, dark place such as a cellar.
  • Enjoy your shchi!
