#tangysoup

This hearty Solyanka Soup features smoked sausage, olives, meats, and vegetables for a tangy twist on this traditional Russian dish.

Orange and teriyaki sauce are mixed into tender beef slices to make this savory and tangy soup. This soup is filling, tasty, and great for a cold night.

Ingredients: 1 lb beef sirloin, thinly sliced. 1 tablespoon sesame oil. 3 cloves garlic, minced. 1 onion, sliced. 1 red bell pepper, sliced. 4 cups beef broth. 1/2 cup orange juice. 1/4 cup soy sauce. 2 tablespoons brown sugar. 2 tablespoons cornstarch. 2 teaspoons grated ginger. 1 teaspoon sesame seeds. Salt and pepper to taste. Green onions, chopped for garnish. Cooked rice optional, for serving.

Instructions: In a large pot, heat sesame oil over medium-high heat. Add garlic and saut until fragrant. Add beef slices and cook until browned. Stir in onion and bell pepper, cook until softened. In a separate bowl, whisk together beef broth, orange juice, soy sauce, brown sugar, cornstarch, and grated ginger. Pour mixture into the pot, stirring well. Bring to a simmer and cook for 10-15 minutes until beef is tender and soup has thickened. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve hot, garnished with sesame seeds and green onions. Optionally, serve over cooked rice.
