Millet kulesh

Description

A hearty and aromatic soup. This soup can be prepared not only at home but also over an open fire in a cauldron. You can make a vegetarian version without meat, using only vegetables. The soup is very similar to porridge, so don't be alarmed if you end up with a thick, sticky consistency. Authentic kulesh is made with fried bacon or pork fat. Serve in bowls and enjoy.
