Uzbek soups generally contain meat and plenty of vegetables, which means they are a complete source of nutrients. These soups, in which legumes are often used, are actually filling enough to replace a meal. The mung beans in the Uzbek soup recipe may not be in the kitchen of most of us. But now you can easily find it in big supermarkets. Since the mung beans sold in Turkey have a harder texture than the mung beans sold in Uzbekistan, it is beneficial to keep the boiling time a little longer. To save time, cooking mung beans in a pressure cooker will also make your job easier.
