NOTE:

  • Always add the spray at the end for a better taste and thickness of the soup. Continue reading instructions.

  • This stew is cooked at least for about 2 h minimum in total. The meat must soften well!

  • When you serve this soup, always serve it warm, you can add a spoonful of sour cream and a generous amount of parsley to the plate, some people also like to put vinegar.

  • Well, I always use wild apple vinegar, because it is the healthiest.

  • Store leftovers in refrigerator 3 days if you used eggs in dressing. If you did not put the dressing, you can keep it in the refrigerator for 2 more days.
