Prepare the broth base: Heat 1 tbsp of vegetable oil or butter in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the finely chopped onion and sauté until softened and translucent, about 5-7 minutes. Stir in the tomato paste and cook for another 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly, until it darkens slightly and becomes fragrant. This step intensifies the tomato flavor.

Simmer the soup: Pour in the broth and bring to a gentle simmer. Add the diced pickled cucumbers, halved olives, and drained capers. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and let the soup simmer for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. The longer it simmers, the deeper the flavor.

Add the meats: Stir in the assorted cut meats into the simmering soup. Continue to simmer for another 15-20 minutes, or until the meats are heated through and the flavors have combined. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary; it should be tangy and savory.
