Chicken and sausage solyanka
Description
The recipe won't take much time. Solianka (a first course) is not traditionally prepared with potatoes, but I find the dish too fatty and incomplete without them, especially when there's a lot of smoked meat. Therefore, to lighten this heavy dish, I add potatoes. If you share this opinion, add diced potatoes (about 4-5 pieces) to the boiling broth. Then add our tomato sauté and continue following the recipe. Serve the soup hot.
