On April 12, 1961, Cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin became the first human to go into space. Now that the Cold War has completely cooled down, everyone around the world can commemorate this amazing achievement in human history. While most choose to hold a party or watch sci-fi movies, we decided to try to make щи, which may only be two simple letters in Russian, but becomes a whopping five letters when transliterated to English as shchi).
We more or less followed the recipe found here. We didn't have any mushrooms, so I substituted it with chopped up hot dogs (which wasn't as bad as you'd think). I don't think we had enough sauerkraut to make this work as the soup turned out very pleasant, but not as bitter as it probably needed to be. Still, with a little bit of sour cream added toward the end, it made for a very nice soup.
