Solyanka (Russian: соля́нка
) is a traditional Eastern European soup known for its rich and hearty flavor. It is a popular dish in Russia, Ukraine, and other countries of the former Soviet Union. The name "solyanka" is derived from the Russian word "соль" (sol), meaning "salt," which reflects the soup's savory and slightly tangy taste.
