Sauerkraut Solyanka

Cookinero 26 Apr 2025

A thick meat soup with a piquant taste and an attractive aroma. Solyanka is an old dish, the first mentions of which appeared in the 15th century. Previously, it was prepared with fish, and now recipes with meat and sausage are especially popular. You can use any meat to prepare the soup, but we recommend pork - with it, the soup turns out richer.
