The soup is very fragrant, bright, fairly sharp and very satisfying. The recipe used the seeds of fenugreek. Look for this spice in stores is useless, because in Russian cuisine it is not used. I went to the market to the Azerbaijanis, they sell spices in our city. Seeds of fenugreek was not that I, in General, is not surprised. Asked the fenugreek, also. Good thing I knew another name for the Armenian - Chaman (ground fenugreek), wanted to leave, but at the last moment asked: "Chaman?" And lo! "There!" Bought. He who seeks will always find!!!
