Description
The soup is simple and quick to prepare. Hearty soups don't necessarily have to contain meat. This recipe doesn't include any meat at all, making it perfect for fasting. To prepare this northern-style soup, we'll need grains and vegetables. Which vegetables to use is up to you—I usually take celery, carrots, and beetroot. They add both flavor and color. Let's look at the step-by-step recipe.
