Soup with sun-dried tomatoes
Description
The soup is simple and quick to prepare. This soup is very popular in my family. I call it "Kuban soup" — it used to be served in Soviet public dining establishments. I'm sharing my step-by-step recipe. It's a simple and delicious soup that's very easy to make. This quantity of ingredients is calculated for a 3-liter pot of soup. Serve the soup hot.
