Description

A hearty first course. Soup is especially suitable to prepare during the cold season; such soup will always warm and satisfy you. In addition to light chicken broth, we'll enrich the soup with smoky notes by choosing your favorite sausage. Barley will make the soup more filling. Besides carrots and onions, add a bit of sweet pepper to the sauté. You can use sour or pickled cucumbers. Serve the soup hot with sour cream, fresh herbs, and black bread.
