If you've already tried to make Borscht and Solyanka, follow these instructions to cook Schi:
1) Cut the meat – put it in a pot with a whole onion and a whole carrot. Bring it to a boil, but don’t let it boil all the way so that the broth remains clear. If any foam forms, remove it.
2) Cut all the vegetables. They will be fried later.
3) Stew the cabbage. The right way to stew it is in pork fat, but we’re not going to make things too complicated, so we’ll just use butter.
4) When the broth is ready, take the meat out and cut it into small pieces, removing it from the bone and then placing it back in the broth.
5) Add the potatoes and fried vegetables. Once the potatoes are boiled, add the cabbage and millet (if you want to make the soup thicker). Boil it for another 15 minutes and then turn off the flame.
6) Let it stand for at least an hour.
