The most filling of the first courses is considered to be solyanka, which is not inferior in popularity even to red borscht, and perhaps even surpasses it.
It is noteworthy that for its preparation you can use products and meat products that have literally been lying around in the refrigerator.
If you are cooking from leftover broth, you need to reheat it.
Then we peel and finely chop the onion, fry it in a frying pan and add tomato paste.
After a minute, add the broth – 1 ladle and simmer for five minutes.
Next, cut cucumbers, olives, sausages or other meat products and place them in a frying pan with broth. Then add salt and spices.
After stewing for a few minutes, transfer the mixture to the hot broth, add lemon and cook for another 5-10 minutes. Turn off and let it brew under the lid.
Serve with sour cream and fresh herbs.
Bon appetit!
