Description
The soup is simple and quick to prepare. If you had a big feast the day before and have leftover sliced meat, this is the perfect opportunity to make a quick and easy solyanka. This way, the ingredients won't go to waste, and the cook won't get too tired. Plus, it'll be great for your stomach :) The step-by-step recipe with photos will help you make this quick version of solyanka. Before serving, I recommend adding olives and a slice of lemon to each bowl. Serve with fresh herbs and sour cream.
