Your ingredients for a delicious salad soup:

- 1 large lettuce (preferably green or iceberg for crunch)
- 1 medium onion (you can use white or yellow onion)
- 1 medium carrot (opt for younger, sweeter carrots)
- 1 small parsnip (this will add a touch of sweetness)
- 1/2 green bell pepper (for extra color and crunch)
- 200 ml tomato juice (or more, depending on preference)
- 1 tablespoon Delikat (or another preferred seasoning)
- 1 tablespoon magic borscht (for a pleasant acidity)
- 1 bunch of fresh parsley (for a fresh and aromatic taste)
- 2 eggs (to add extra protein)
- Salt, to taste

Practical tip: When choosing the lettuce, look for green, crunchy leaves without spots. Fresh lettuce will definitely make a difference in the texture and taste of your soup.

Preparing the soup:

1. Preparing the vegetables: Start by washing the lettuce well under a stream of cold water. Make sure to remove any impurities. After washing the lettuce, cut it into larger pieces, about 3-4 cm. This will help maintain the crunchy texture during cooking.

2. Chopping the vegetables: Peel and chop the onion, carrot, parsnip, and bell pepper. Here’s a little cooking technique: try to chop the vegetables into uniform sizes to ensure even cooking. If you like it spicy, you can also add a bit of chili pepper.

3. Sautéing the vegetables: In a large pot, add 2-3 tablespoons of olive oil and heat it over medium heat. Add the onion and sauté until it becomes translucent, about 3-4 minutes. Then, add the carrot and parsnip, continuing to cook for 5-7 minutes until the vegetables soften slightly.

4. Adding the remaining ingredients: Once the vegetables are ready, add the bell pepper and chopped lettuce. Mix well to combine the ingredients. After a few minutes, add the tomato juice, Delikat, and magic borscht. Add water to cover all the vegetables.

5. Boiling the soup: Let the soup simmer on low heat for about 20 minutes. During this time, the flavor of the vegetables will intensify, and the soup will become delicious.

6. Cooking the eggs: Meanwhile, you can prepare the eggs. In a separate pot, boil water with a little salt. When the water comes to a boil, carefully crack the eggs and let them boil for 6-7 minutes for a slightly soft yolk. After boiling, transfer the eggs to a bowl of cold water to stop the cooking.

7. Finishing the soup: After the soup has boiled, add salt to taste and the chopped parsley. Mix well and let the soup rest for 5 minutes before serving.

8. Serving: Serve the soup hot, with a boiled egg cut in half on top of each serving. You can also add some croutons for extra texture.

Personal tip: I love to add a little sour cream on top to create a creamy contrast with the hot soup. You can also experiment with various herbs like dill or chives to customize your soup.

Nutritional benefits: This soup is rich in vitamins A, C, and K from the vegetables and is an excellent source of fiber. The eggs add high-quality protein, making this soup a healthy and filling choice.

Frequently asked questions:

1. Can I use other vegetables instead of those suggested?
Absolutely! You can add your favorite vegetables, such as zucchini or broccoli.

2. How much salt should I add?
I recommend adding salt gradually, tasting the soup along the way, as Delikat already contains salt.

3. How can I store the soup for the next day?
The soup keeps well in the refrigerator in an airtight container and can be reheated without any problems.

4. What other recipes can this soup be paired with?
It pairs perfectly with a fresh green salad or a slice of homemade bread. You can also enjoy it with a refreshing drink, such as natural citrus juice.

This straight salad soup with egg is not just a healthy meal but also an explosion of flavors that will delight you. Whether you prepare it for an ordinary day or a special occasion, it is a recipe that will not disappoint. Try it and enjoy every spoonful!
