Soup Kitchen: Solyanka

• Cut the onion into strips (or coarse pieces). Cut the cucumber into pieces. Chop the garlic
• Skip the bacon, add onions and garlic and sauté until translucent.
• Add ham, sausage, roast strips, cucumber pieces and bay leaf and sauté. Add the tomato paste, mix everything well and fill up with the broth.
• Bring the solyanka to the boil briefly and season to taste.
