Zucchini soup
Description
Perfect for lunch. Ukrainian cooks call any soup made on meat, fish, or even mushroom broth "Yushka." Simple soups with grains, vegetables, legumes, pasta, or mushrooms are always served with sour cream, as well as with dumplings or savory buns. This recipe makes a fairly simple soup, yet it turns out nutritious and very delicious. I prepared it with beef broth, but you can use any meat broth according to your taste. Serve the soup hot.
