Smoked Chicken Solianka
Description
A hearty first course. Solianka is a soup that allows you to throw in whatever ingredients you have on hand, and it only gets tastier. Today, I happened to have a delicious piece of smoked chicken. Let's make solianka with it. First, chop the smoked meat and add it to a pot of boiling water. Let the meat simmer for 20 minutes. Meanwhile, chop and sauté onions and carrots in a skillet. Separately, brown the sliced sausage and pickles. Chop leek and fresh herbs. Add all prepared ingredients to the pot as they're ready. Season with salt and pepper, and add a bay leaf. Serve hot, garnishing each portion with several olives and a slice of lemon.
