A variation of the well-known kulesh - a bright, appetizing millet soup.
Kulesh, according to the wiki, is a liquid stew made from lard with millet and the addition of other ingredients. It was in this form that this soup or gruel originated, and it was originally prepared over a fire during hikes or field work.
Therefore, we can add whatever our heart desires to this very recipe, just not to forget about the main components - millet cereals and lard. Lard can also probably be anything, but it is logical to assume that it was originally salted, because... salted lard is still stored better and longer than fresh lard. Dill is a spice that has been common in villages for a long time, so its greens will not be superfluous in the soup.
