Lean Sauerkraut Shchi (Cabbage Soup)

A wonderfully tasty cabbage soup that fills the kitchen with aroma! Sauerkraut is the foundation of Russian shchi — it gives the soup its distinctive flavor and aroma. This lean shchi with poppy seeds recently joined my recipe collection; like any home cook, I was drawn first to how easy it is to make. Lean sauerkraut shchi is just the thing for Orthodox fasting or for anyone watching their weight.
