Hangover Soup with Noodles and Leeks
8 servings
20 minutes
Hangover soup with noodles and leek is a fragrant, rich, and restorative dish of Russian cuisine. Its roots trace back to the traditions of making strong broths that can restore strength after lively feasts. This soup is cooked with beef and pork bones along with chicken, making it hearty and deep in flavor. Delicate rice noodles, sautéed leek, and sweet prunes add sophistication to it. A light acidity from lemon juice and the richness of soy sauce balance the taste, while cilantro adds freshness. Serving with pieces of meat makes the soup filling and warming. Ideal for restoring energy, enjoying a wealth of flavors, or simply having a cozy lunch in the traditions of Russian cuisine.
