Notes

If you will have leftovers of this soup, cook the buckwheat separately, adding to the soup before serving. (Like rice or pasta, the groats will absorb all of the liquid if allowed to sit).
To make this buckwheat soup with fresh turkey or chicken, add cubed raw turkey or chicken when the stock is added to the pot.
If you can't find kasha, or toasted buckwheat, you can toast the raw buckwheat groats yourself in a pan over low heat for about 10 minutes, shaking the pan often. The groats are toasted when they turn golden brown.
