Soup for the winter

4 servings

30 minutes

Winter soup is a traditional dish of Russian cuisine that warms during the cold season. Its roots trace back to village recipes where accessible root vegetables were used to prepare hearty and nutritious soups. The flavor of the soup is rich and deep, with subtle herbal notes of bay leaf and a soft creamy hint of sour cream. Potatoes, carrots, swede, and onions create a harmonious blend of sweet and earthy tones, while the vegetable broth unites the ingredients into a warm symphony of flavors. This soup is perfect for winter evenings when comfort and homeliness are desired. It is easily digestible and provides a feeling of fullness, making it an excellent choice for family dinners.
