Light Green Soup
4 servings
35 minutes
Light green soup is the embodiment of freshness and tenderness in Russian cuisine. Its roots trace back to the traditions of simple yet nourishing dishes where vegetables play a key role. The broth infuses the ingredients with subtle aromas, while zucchini, spinach, and cilantro give the soup a rich herbal flavor. Served with sour cream, it becomes even softer, and its creamy texture makes each spoonful pleasant and comforting. This soup is an ideal option for those who appreciate lightness and naturalness in food.
