Solyanka team meat: a step by step recipe with a photo

I like to cook hodgepodge after holidays or feasts. And one of these options is the New Year. When you are already tired of salads, appetizers and other food and you want a thin soup. As a rule, at such a time in the refrigerator there are a lot of leftovers from various sausages, “cuts”, sometimes smoked or baked chicken, leftover olives from some kind of salad, lemon ... in general, a complete list of ingredients for making soup, which is not in vain called combined meat hodgepodge. And he is good in the cold, as he is very vigorous and warms with this vigor. For him, you can even not specifically cook the broth, it will be enough fat from all the meat components. So, today let's see how you can cook hodgepodge. There will be three recipes with step-by-step photos: the first is as close as possible to the classic version, the second is also useful to many - in a slow cooker, and the third is a variation on the theme.

How to cook meat hodgepodge at home

1. If you decide to cook with broth, then it must be cooked in advance.
2. If you do not have ready-made smoked or baked chicken, then we take a raw chicken breast, rub it with salt, chicken spices, wrap it in foil, put it in an oven heated to 180 ° C for 40 minutes. You can do this while the broth is cooking.
