🇷🇺 Russia recipe
Solyanka
Solyanka is one of Russia's great soups, a bold and complex creation that combines smoked and cured meats with briny pickles, tangy capers, and olives in a rich tomato-laced broth. Originally a hangover cure and a way to use up odds and ends of various meats, it has evolved into a celebrated dish served in the finest Russian restaurants. Each spoonful delivers a different layer of smoky, sour, and savory flavor.
