Zeleva Chorba

Zeleva Chorba refers to a Bulgarian kind of cabbage soup with fat meat, rice and pepper and a rather sour taste which makes it unpopular with foreigners. Soups are very popular in Bulgaria. There is no lunch without soup and in summers, the most popular is a cold soup called Tarator which is soup prepared from yoghurt, water, cucumber, garlic, dill, nuts and a pinch of salt.
