This soup is quick to prepare, taking only 20 minutes of active cooking, but the result will exceed your expectations. A perfect combination of meaty taste with the lightness of vegetable broth. Experiment with different ingredients to create flavor variations by adding rice, buckwheat, or even mushrooms.
