Love it
Simple meal to make but takes a long time to wait for so not good for a quick soup and bed.
Can't get enough of all this beautiful and tasty Russian soups, this and the Shchi have become my top two favorite appetizers.
Thanks for sharing will be making this a lot more often it has a good taste :)
Didn't add any parsley since the taste usually is overwhelming, other than that it was a brilliant soup to try.
Loved this with some cheesy garlic bread on the side.
Instead of beef I used pork because it's cheaper and I personally think it grips flavors a lot more than beef does.
Cool flavor and colors liked it a lot.
Solyanka is the best soup there is because you can add or subtract certain flavors, it's healthy and theres a bunch of meat for meatlovers like myself!! LOL.
Wonderful slavic soup tasted amazing and pleased the whole table.
