    щи

    щи is a Russian soup and word, right?

    What gender is it??

    It is very atypical ending, и
    Loan words ending on и and other atypical vowels (as спагетти) are undeclinable and considered as neuter. e.g. плохое спагетти.

    Right?
    Please correct my Russian or English. Спасибо большое!

    Yes. It is soup with cabbage and it has espesial sauerkraut taste. It has no gender, AFAIK, because it is used always in plural.

    По-моему, там вообще одна сплошная капуста.
    In Russian, all nationalities and their corresponding languages start with a lower-case letter.

    В основном капуста, немного моркови, немного лука и мясо. Ещё зелени какой-нибудь можно добавить и сметаны...

    Yes. It is soup with cabbage and it has espesial sauerkraut taste. It has no gender, AFAIK, because it is used always in plural.
    Actially, it is (was) feminine. Since the 1918 orthographic reform, the gender is of null importance.

    Да, мне где-то встречалось "хорошая супа". Суп в давнее время был женского рода.
