(simple recipe)

Description

The soup is simple and quick to prepare. It has long become a traditional dish not only in Georgian, but also in Russian cuisine. And no wonder! This soup is easy to make and yet truly delicious. I'd like to point out that canned tomatoes in their own juice can be substituted with tomato sauce, for example. Also, there are no nuts in this recipe, but you can add them if you wish.
