Soup
Description
A hearty first course. Here is a recipe for "Kapustnyak" soup, and I'm sure you'll love it just as much as I did back in the day! Delicious, filling, and wonderfully homey. This is my dad's favorite soup, which is why my mom makes it very often. As I grew older, I realized it's also a very economical recipe—enough to last a long time and quite inexpensive. The soup is ready to serve.
