Green Soup

Zelesup is a simple yet surprisingly aromatic dish of Russian cuisine that reveals rich herbal notes of fresh greens. Its roots trace back to traditional village recipes where housewives used seasonal products to create light, nutritious soups. The taste of Zelesup is characterized by tenderness and freshness, while the creamy note of goat cheese adds softness and depth. Garlic and pepper add spiciness, making the soup warming and invigorating. A key feature of this dish is its quick preparation and the option to serve it with Borodinsky bread croutons softened with smoked lard. An ideal choice for a summer dinner or light lunch, Zelesup delights with its rich flavor and natural benefits.
