Tomato paste solyanka
Description
A hearty first course. Soljanka is very easy to prepare. To make it more delicious, I recommend adding plenty of different smoked meats and olives—this is essential. When preparing soljanka with tomato paste, you can use either store-bought or homemade paste (made from fresh tomatoes). See the recipe below. The soup is ready to serve.
