After a few minutes, you can lay out peppers, carrots, mushrooms, eggplant and cook for a quarter of an hour. Spread the garlic with tomatoes and cook for another 10 minutes. Now it remains only to throw finely chopped greens and leave our soup on the stove for 15 minutes. He must "walk", so his taste will become even more intense. And of course, season with sour cream.
