Cut your sausages into small circles and add to the boiling mixture together with the cooked meat. Bring to a boil again. Then add your capers, olives and the hot brine that you strained from the pickle peels. At this point, if you still feel like the soup needs salt, then this is a good time to add it. Bring the soup to a boil again and turn off the heat. Let sit for 15 to 20 minutes. Serve with some chopped parsley and a lemon wedge on top. Recipe by Vasilisa Malinka Recipe FROM: MMMMM .
