Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat.
Add the chopped onion and minced garlic and sauté until the onion becomes translucent, about 5 minutes.
Add diced carrots and celery, and cook for another 5 minutes until the vegetables begin to soften.
Increase heat to medium-high and add the cubed beef and chicken to the pot. Cook until the meats are browned on all sides.
Pour in the low-sodium chicken broth and bring the mixture to a simmer.
Stir in the tomato paste until it is well incorporated into the broth.
Add the diced dill pickles, sliced olives, bay leaves, paprika, and black pepper. Stir to combine.
Reduce the heat to low and let the soup simmer for about 40 minutes, or until the meats are tender and the flavors have melded together.
Remove the bay leaves and adjust the seasoning if necessary.
Garnish each bowl with a slice of lemon and a dollop of sour cream before serving.
Sprinkle with fresh parsley and enjoy your low sodium solyanka.
