Soup "Spring" from frozen vegetables

Cookinero 23 Oct 2022

Such a tender, dietary soup was on the menu of the dining room of the Beloe Lake sanatorium near Shatura, where we often rested in the summer with the whole family. I was bribed by the simplicity and speed of its preparation, however, there it was boiled in chicken broth, but I began to do it simply on water. I often cook it in early spring, when, tired of hearty winter dishes, I want something fresh and light. In this case, frozen vegetables that have preserved the vitamins of a warm summer are simply irreplaceable, although you can cook it from fresh ones (just adjust the cooking time). This soup is especially good with sour cream, but it's up to you to decide whether to use it in the post.
