The main ingredient of classic rassolnik, besides meat, is cucumbers and brine. But the soup turns out rich and tasty not because of this sourness.
This is what experienced cooks add to “tickle” the taste buds.
This is the main ingredient. It turns out that rassolnik is tastier if you peel them, remove the seeds, cut them into cubes and scald them with boiling water (they will retain their shape). Potatoes, carrots, onions, and cereals are also added as vegetables.
1. Try adding celery. It will make the pickle taste spicier and the aroma more piquant.
2. Parsnips are somewhat reminiscent of carrots, but the taste of the finished dish will be strikingly different from pickle soup cooked with carrots.
3. Parsley is good not only for decorating a dish on a plate, but also for cooking broth. The aroma will be extraordinary.
In addition to dill, parsley and other small greens, don’t be shy and add basil, tarragon, and bay leaf.
Don't forget that after adding the herbs, the soup must be brought to a boil, otherwise it won't last long.
