The special difference between rural food is nutritional value and satiety. Therefore, our ancestors cooked potatoes, vegetables, eggs, soups … on lard, goose or duck fat. Moreover, contrary to today's beliefs of nutritionists, it was not only nutritious, but also healthy. Because a person needed a certain amount of fat in order to be efficient, energetic and not freeze in the cold. The fat helped the skin and hair look healthy and better absorb the vitamins found in foods. Therefore, the peculiarity of this soup is that the products are pre-fried before cooking.
