"A good dish can be eaten twice." Tigran Petrosian

Schi is a centuries-old Russian soup, beloved for its simple ingredients and flavor that deepens over time. Traditionally enjoyed over several days, it gets tastier as the flavors meld. With Hungarian paprika, this version adds a modern twist to a classic comfort food.

Pomegranate seeds — or arils — have been symbols of fertility, prosperity, and eternal life for thousands of years. In ancient Persia and Greece, the pomegranate was considered a sacred fruit connected to goddesses like Persephone and Aphrodite. Today, it’s still a sign of good luck and renewal in many cultures — and nutrition-wise, it’s packed with antioxidants that support heart health and glowing skin.

This recipe can be varied: use other ground meats, finely chopped ham, or any other meat. I think it's especially good for using up leftovers from Thanksgiving. You can also grate zucchini or pumpkin, or both, along with the potatoes.
