Vegetarian Fresh Cabbage Soup (Shchi)

A light, satisfying vegetarian soup! Vegetarian shchi with fresh cabbage is my go-to when I want something fresh, hot, and reasonably quick. The ingredients are easy to find and the method couldn't be simpler. It turns out wonderfully! You can sauté an onion along with the carrot if you like. In place of onion, this version uses asafoetida (a handy spice that stands in for the flavor of onion and garlic).

  • Bring 1.5 liters (about 6 cups) of water to a boil. Finely shred the cabbage, drop it into the boiling water, and cook over low heat for 15 minutes. Meanwhile, wash, peel, and dice the carrot. Sauté it in vegetable oil until lightly browned, then add the tomato paste. Stir, cook everything together for a minute, and take it off the heat. Peel and dice the potatoes. Add the carrot-and-tomato mixture and the potatoes to the pot with the cabbage. Season with salt and spices to taste, drop in the bay leaves, and add a pinch of asafoetida if you like. Cook the soup over low heat for about 20 minutes — it's ready when the potatoes are tender. Fresh vegetarian shchi is incredibly tasty. Serve it with a dollop of sour cream and a scatter of fresh herbs.
