Rassolnik is a very healthy, nutritious and appetizing first course.

However, when preparing soup, you can make a serious mistake.

As a result, the consistency of some ingredients may be unsuccessful.

Usually we are talking about potatoes, which often lose their flavor and become too tough.

Why does this happen? It's all about another component - the pickle. It can only be added to the pot at a certain moment.

A common mistake made by amateur cooks

Many housewives add ingredients to rassolnik in random order. This is a serious mistake, which leads to a deterioration in the quality of the dish.

The sliced pickle should never be added to the pan before or at the same time as the potatoes.

First, the potato cubes should be boiled in the soup - without any cucumber pieces and without brine.

Cucumbers can be added only when the nightshade is almost completely ready.

Following this simple recommendation will guarantee the preparation of an incredibly tasty soup with soft and at the same time whole potato cubes.
