Stewed Solyanka
Description
The dish is prepared without unnecessary complications. If desired, you can add a bouillon cube along with the water to the solyanka. It can be of any flavor, which will enrich the aroma and taste of the dish. Additionally, you may add a tablespoon of tomato paste or sauce made from fresh tomatoes, according to preference. If you prefer a meat solyanka, smoked sausages or frankfurters will work perfectly. Slice them and add 10 minutes before the dish is ready. Serve the finished dish immediately.

Step 1
The beans need to be soaked in water overnight. However, you can also soak them for 3-4 hours right before cooking. Peel the onion and carrot and finely chop them. The mushrooms should also be cut into small pieces. Now fry the mushrooms together with the onion and carrot until golden brown. I do this in a multicooker.
