Shchi with chicken As for the origin of cabbage soup, unlike borsch, there is no disagreement - it is a native Russian dish. Traditionally, soup brewed on beef broth, but you can use either pork or chicken broth, as well as a vegetable broth.

Well, for now, there is a young fresh cabbage, I suggest a little retreat from the traditions, and prepare soup from fresh cabbage on chicken broth. Prepared in this way, the dish turns tender, tasty and very useful.
