After reading a lot of recipes for this interesting soup, I made an average version of the most common and popular. This Belarusian peasant soup (it is also called krupenya) is cooked in meat broth, let's say chicken and even fish options. "Byaleny krupenya" is a krupnik boiled in milk, it can be served cold. Krupnik can be lean and fast. There are very simple ways of cooking it - broth, cereals, potatoes, fried onions in lard - and that's it. There are richer ones - with the addition of mushrooms, meat, and several cereals.

Chicken can be replaced with turkey or any other type of meat at your request. But keep in mind that in this case, the cooking time and calorie content of the dish will change.
