Soup with Cabbage, Tomatoes, Rice and Ham

The soup with vegetables, ham and rice turns out to be quite satisfying, despite the fact that it is not cooked in meat broth. Strips of ham are added to each serving, which perfectly complement the taste of vegetables and rice. Hot chili peppers add piquancy to this soup. Vegetable soup with ham and rice can be seasoned with sour cream when serving.
