Solyanka without smoked meats
Description
A hearty first course. Meat assortment solyanka is a dish of Russian cuisine, often served in restaurants. But it's also very easy to prepare at home. Today, our version of this soup contains no smoked meats and is made with chicken broth. Solyanka can also be made with water, but my broth is very light, so it doesn't have a rich flavor. Use good-quality sausage, and your solyanka will be enjoyed with pleasure. Serve the soup hot.
