Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat.
Finely chop the onion and mince the garlic. Add both to the pot and sauté until the onion becomes translucent, about 5 minutes.
Cut the smoked sausage and beef brisket into bite-sized pieces. Add them to the pot and cook until they start to brown, about 5 minutes.
Pour in the chicken broth and bring to a gentle simmer.
Stir in the tomato paste until completely dissolved in the broth.
Chop the pickles into thin slices. Add the pickles, pickle juice, olives, capers, and bay leaves to the pot.
Season the soup with salt and black pepper. Allow the soup to simmer for approximately 30 minutes to develop the flavors.
Remove the bay leaves. Squeeze the lemon juice into the soup for a tangy finish.
Chop the fresh dill and garnish each serving with a sprinkle of dill for added freshness.
Serve hot and enjoy your dairy-free Solyanka soup!
