120 minutes
Bean solyanka is a rich and aromatic soup that embodies the traditions of Russian cuisine. Its history traces back to old taverns where dishes were made with an abundance of meat ingredients and rich flavors. Solyanka is famous for its bright contrast—spicy smoked meats, tangy pickles, tender beans, and tomato paste create a unique harmony. Olives and lemon add a refreshing tartness while sour cream softens the spiciness. This soup is perfect for cold days when you want to warm up and feel full. It is served with herbs and garlic to enhance the depth of flavor. Solyanka is not just a dish but a gastronomic journey through Russian traditions filled with richness in textures and tastes.
