Soups in different countries have by no means the same culinary significance. In CIS countries, soup is usually a warm liquid dish served first for lunch. However, in Asia it is not customary to eat soups first. A liquid dish completes the meal.
In addition to warm soups, there are cold ones. Such soups are called summer soups because they are prepared in southern countries. One of the most common cold soups is considered okroshka. However, there are other soups that do not need to cook for a long time. The
