Sour cream is a traditional addition to shchi.
Thanks to this fermented milk product, the soup acquires an ideal texture and becomes more delicious.
However, using the sour cream component is far from the only way to improve ready-made cabbage soup.

It turns out that there is an additive that makes the dish even more appetizing.
The flavor of all ingredients is revealed much better than when adding sour cream.
This point was noted by the expert of the online publication Belnovosti in the field of cooking, chef, fourth-class baker Yulia Arkhipova.
