Sauerkraut Shchi (Russian Cabbage Soup) in a Slow Cooker

A really tasty, hearty Russian dish — sour cabbage shchi. Give it a try! I loved it as a child when my grandmother made this soup. It's "sour" because it's made with fermented (sauerkraut) cabbage rather than fresh. Now I make it myself, but in a slow cooker, which makes things easier and saves time. The shchi turns out just as delicious and rich as it did from the oven!

  • First, prep the vegetables — wash them and peel the carrots, potatoes, and onion. Cut the potatoes into fairly large chunks, dice the carrots, and cut the onion and celery into thin strips. Wash the meat, pat it slightly dry, and cut it into medium pieces. You can soak the dried mushrooms ahead of time, though I don't bother. Put the meat, sauerkraut, and the chopped carrots, potatoes, onion, and celery into the slow cooker. Add the porcini mushrooms and bay leaf. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Add enough water to cover the meat and vegetables. Close the lid, choose the "Soup" program, and add 30 minutes to the default time (in my slow cooker the whole thing takes an hour and a half). Ladle the finished shchi into bowls and sprinkle with chopped dill. Enjoy!
