Chicken and rice solyanka soup
Description
Perfect for lunch. I think this is quite a simple recipe for solyanka soup with chicken and rice. All the cooking steps are typical for any soup. However, you can vary the ingredients to your taste. For example, I added chili pepper to my chicken and rice solyanka for some spice—I like it better that way. The weather is so gloomy and wet now that you really crave something hot. Here's the recipe for solyanka soup with chicken and rice. Ladle into bowls and serve.
