Cabbage soup with chicken and vegetables
Description
The recipe won't take much time. Shred is fermented outer leaves of white cabbage, which housewives usually throw away. In raw form, they are quite tough, and fermentation makes them more tender, but even so, they require quite a long cooking time. That's why it's best to use a stewing chicken for this soup, as it also needs prolonged cooking. Of course, you should try this version of shchi at least once to decide whether you like it or not. The soup is ready to serve.
