Step-by-step recipe with photos
Rassolnik is one of the most recognizable soups of classical Russian cuisine. There are a huge number of varieties of this soup. It is prepared with regular meat (pork, beef, chicken) or smoked meats. We will now prepare a version with smoked sausage and rice. This option can also be prepared with pearl barley.
To make Rassolnik with smoked sausage, we will need the products in the photo.
Peel a huge potato and cut into small cubes. Fill with water and place on the stove. When the water boils, cook the potatoes for 5 minutes. Add washed rice. Cook potatoes and rice for 15 minutes.
At this time, peel and finely chop the onion, peel the carrots, grate on a large grater. Fry in vegetable oil until tender.
Remove the casing from the smoked sausage and cut into small cubes.
When the onions and carrots become golden, add the sausage and heat for a minute or two so that the sausage reveals its own taste and smell.
Grate the barrel cucumbers on a large grater and add to the frying.
Mix well, cook for 5-7 minutes. Pour 1 cup of cucumber brine into the soup, add frying. When the soup boils, remove the foam, add salt and pepper to taste, add bay and cook for another 5-7 minutes. If the soup tastes very sour, add a little sugar to balance the taste.
Wash and dry the parsley. Cut it, add it to the soup, stir and immediately turn off the stove. Let the pickle with sausage sit for 10 minutes.

Soup “Moderate Selyanka”
No, I didn’t mix anything up! At first, the soup that we know as “Solyanka” was called “Selyanka” - rural, farm food. When there is very little time to prepare lunch, I prepare this soup based on the well-known solyanka. Very fast, simple and delicious! Will you try it?)
Pizza “Unusual”
I understand that there are a huge number of pizza recipes on this website, BUT the main thing is the sauce. “Cooking sauce is like grammar for language. Fantasy and love are the best seasonings.” (c) Dutch cookbook. Using one or another sauce can enhance or weaken the taste. In our situation, the sauce with the introduction of “Maggi for pickle” dressing was exclusive and made our pizza.
Rassolnik with sausage . Rassolnik with sausage is a nutritious, savory dish with a slightly salty aftertaste. It is prepared quickly due to the semi-finished meat component in it, which is sausage.
The essence of making pickle soup with sausages comes down to making the soup ingredients in ordinary water. Thus, fresh potatoes are peeled, cut into cubes or cubes, and boiled in water. Usually, rice or pearl barley is added to the pickle immediately with the potatoes for boiling.
While potatoes and cereals are being cooked, add crushed onions and carrots (carrots can be grated on a large grater) in a frying pan with vegetable oil added, as well as grated or diced pickled cucumber (you can use pickled cucumbers).
When the vegetables are cooked through sautéing, they are added to the soup. The soup is also seasoned with diced sausage. You can use different types of sausages, or the consistency of their types, for pickle. But boiled smoked sausage or simply smoked sausage in pickle is more delicious.
The pickle is allowed to simmer for 5 minutes, then seasoned with chopped herbs, chopped garlic if desired, and spices, turn off the heat and let it brew for a little while.
The pickle with sausage should be served with sour cream, wheat or rye bread. You can serve it with toast, flatbread, croutons.

The development of its production may vary depending on the chosen recipe, but remains common - even an inexperienced cook can create a soup from sausages, cereals and pickles.
Individual manufacturing
At first glance, it may seem that cooking pickle soup quickly is unrealistic. If you cook it using classical technology from meat and kidneys, with the addition of pearl barley, then yes. But replacing meat with sausage significantly speeds up and simplifies the cooking process. If the cook is familiar with the general principles of making pickle soup, then he will succeed in this soup with sausages.
- Pickled cucumbers and cucumber pickle give the pickle a corresponding sour taste. It is not allowed to replace them with pickled vegetables and their marinade: the result will be completely different.
- Cucumbers are added to the soup shortly before it is ready, having been chopped beforehand. If the skin of vegetables is rough, peel them before chopping.
- Rassolnik will have the most tender taste if it is fried in butter. Adding sour cream also softens the taste of the dish.
- It is necessary to salt the pickle last, otherwise there is a high possibility that you will overdo it with salt. If this happens, add a little boiled water and boil the diluted soup for a couple of minutes. It will become the least thick, but the most pleasant to the taste.
- Sausage does not require long cooking; it is added at one of the last steps of making soup.
- Rassolnik with sausage can be cooked in water or broth. If you want to make soup quickly, you can use broth in cubes.
- When adding fresh herbs to a pot of soup, you need to boil it for 2-3 minutes so that it does not turn sour before it is eaten.
- If you plan to cook pickle with pearl barley, the cereal should be boiled separately or soaked in advance to speed up the process of making it. Other cereals do not require such preparation.
- The pickle becomes tastier if you let it steep under the lid for 15–20 minutes.
Various types of sausages, including smoked meats, can be used to make rassolnik. Its taste also depends on the composition of the soup.

Ingredients
Manufacturing process
Wash the pearl barley a couple of times, add cool water and leave for 20-30 minutes to swell. After this, drain the water and wash the barley again under running water.
Transfer the barley into a saucepan, pour 2.5 liters of cool water over the cereal, and place on high heat. After the water boils, reduce the heat and cook the barley for 15-20 minutes.
While the pearl barley is cooking, wash the potatoes, peel them and cut them into medium cubes.
Once the pearl barley becomes soft, add chopped potatoes to the pan and cook the potatoes and barley for 10-15 minutes.
Meanwhile, in a frying pan with the addition of vegetable oil, fry the peeled and finely chopped onion for 2-3 minutes over medium heat (until soft), stirring constantly.
Peel the carrots and grate on a medium grater.
Then add the carrots to the pan with the onions. Fry vegetables for 5-7 minutes over medium heat, stirring.
Grate the pickled cucumbers on a medium grater (can be cut into small cubes if desired).
Add the cucumbers to the frying pan with the onions and carrots, fry over low heat for 3-4 minutes, stirring constantly.
Cut the smoked sausage (or any other sausage products) randomly. I cut the sausage into slices. Add the sausage to the pan with the fried vegetables and pickles.
Mix well and simmer the sausages with onions, carrots and pickles for approximately 5 minutes over medium heat, stirring occasionally.
When the potatoes and pearl barley are completely ready, add the fried vegetables with pickles and smoked sausages to the pan.
Season, salt to taste, add bay leaf. Cook the pickle with sausage, barley and pickles for 7-10 minutes over medium heat. Then turn off the heat, cover the pan with a lid and let the soup brew for 10-15 minutes.
An appetizing, fragrant rassolnik with sausage and barley is ready, serve it hot with sour cream and rye bread.
