Assorted Bean, Pea, and Lentil Soup

Pasulya is a traditional Transcarpathian soup, where "pasulya" refers to beans, which are the main ingredient. In this recipe, pasulya is prepared with sauerkraut. Thanks to the added flour, the soup becomes thicker, the cabbage provides a pleasant sourness, and the beans ensure its heartiness.

Canned beans make this meatless and potato-free soup heartier, and combined with canned tomatoes, allow for a very quick meal preparation. Spinach adds healthy benefits to the soup. A real find for lovers of simple and delicious recipes.

I prefer vegetable soups made with beef broth. If the broth is prepared in advance, cooking the main dish will take minimal time. You can add any seasonal vegetables to the soup according to your taste. This time, I prepared a soup with white and cauliflower, as well as canned green peas. Fresh herbs serve as a bright and aromatic addition to the dish.

A simple and nutritious milk soup with peas (or beans/pearl barley). Pre-soaked peas are cooked until tender, then milk and butter are added. Ideal for a light lunch or dinner.

A delicious and hearty soup with red lentils and minced meat. This soup is prepared without potatoes, but thanks to the soft-cooking lentils, it becomes quite thick, resembling a cream soup, though not entirely smooth. Tomato paste and fresh tomatoes add a pleasant tang, while cumin and paprika contribute a spicy aroma.

This lentil soup with sausages boasts an excellent flavor and is remarkably quick to prepare, making it an ideal choice for a fast and hearty meal.
