Rye is a cereal that is rarely used in grains, but that goes extraordinarily well with this legume soup. Trying it, you will also enjoy its benefits and properties, and make a more creative and various cuisine. I hope this recipe can positively amaze you: sometimes we need to be more curious to try and discover new recipes. 🙂
