Okay what does one do with Napa cabbage, carrots, onions, dried Shitake mushrooms, Yukon Gold Potatoes, Turnips, Dill, Pepper and Salt, and green onion, butter, Rice Wine Vinegar, and Chicken and Vegetable broth?
Well that’s my Chopped list of ingredients. It’s my version of Shchi…albeit Russian Cabbage Soup. Oh and that’s pronounced, via Google Translate as a short “shay”, and through Wikipedia, “sheef”. The Cyrillic is Щи.
Dried mushrooms are reconstituted. Everything chopped, sliced, grated, and prepped. Potatoes, turnips, cabbage, and herbs and spices are put into a large pot with chicken and vegetable broths, and mushroom water. Pot is brought to boil then set on simmer to soften potatoes, turnips, and cabbage.
Chopped onions and grated carrots are fried in butter. Sliced mushrooms and onion and carrot mixture are thrown into main pot.
The chopped green onions are added.
And a dollop of sour cream.
One could say that I have been on a kick lately to try as many types of soups, chowders, stews, and such. Next to try Stone Soup.
Be healthy and enjoy,
Jim
