Unusual soup
Description
Perfect for lunch. The soup prepared according to this recipe turns out just as delicious as the classic version. Instead of lamb, I used familiar chicken, cooking it to make a rich broth. Fresh tomatoes are traditionally added to the recipe, but I replaced them with regular tomato paste from a package. Ladle into bowls and serve.
