What varieties of classic soup are there?

In the composition of such soup you can find meat broth, potatoes, various types of mushrooms, meat semi-finished products. As a rule, many products are introduced into the composition, which will make the shchi tastier and more satisfying.

Few people have heard of this type of soup. The dish is based on seedlings that were not used for planting.

Vegans and vegetarians can safely prepare this cabbage soup for themselves, since the soup does not contain any animal products.
