Meat Hodgepodge

Solyanka is a traditional Russian soup with a sour-salty taste and thick consistency. A variety of pickles, lemon juice, brine, olives, or capers are used to make it. Today I offer you a meat soup, which is prepared with meat and several varieties of smoked meats. Such a hodgepodge can be offered to guests if you are planning a festive dinner, and, of course, your family will not leave indifferent to such a dish.

Be sure to cook the meat broth from the pulp beforehand. We do not need a fat broth, as a lot of smoked meat is expected in the meat hodgepodge. When the meat boils in the pot, the foam must be removed until it disappears completely. Then it is better to strain the broth and pour it into another pot, add salt to taste and cook the meat until tender.

Boil the meat

Dice the onion, grate the cucumbers. Heat the sunflower oil in a pan, put the onions and cucumbers, fry a little and add the tomato paste. Pour 50 ml of water, stir and stew for 10 minutes.
