This soup, on a Russian menu, is listed as “German meat soup with pickles. Served in winter.” It turns out to be a Russian soup that became very popular in East Germany. The version I had today had lots of deli meat in it, including pepperoni (after all, this is a Russian owned pizza place). There was also grated carrot in it, and sliced scallions and pickled cucumber pieces. What wasn't really German were the black and green olives. The soup was garnished with dill (of course!) and a lemon slice. It was served with coriander flavored black bread and sour cream, both of which really complimented the soup. When the waitress brought me the soup, she said, “It's all homemade. Nothing out of a can.” The soup was savory and a little sour, and I can't imagine it out of a can.
