In order for the rassolnik to be rich and tasty, you need to not only properly prepare the pickles and calculate the correct portion of the brine itself.
There are still important nuances that you need to know to prepare a tasty and high-quality soup.
What are the main culinary tricks
Proper cooking of pearl barley
Don't give in to the temptation and look for ways to speed up the cooking of such an important component. In order for the rassolnik to really turn out well, it is worth preparing the cereal according to all the rules.
However, there is one important feature: pearl barley must be cooked separately.
Potato
Some people chop the potatoes finely, choosing a cube shape. This is a perfectly acceptable solution. However, to make the soup look more attractive, it is better to chop the potatoes into regular wedges.
After this, the vegetable is lightly fried in vegetable oil until a crust appears. This will not only give a pleasant flavor to the soup, but will also prevent the component from boiling over.
Tomatoes
Not all housewives add tomatoes to the rassolnik, but they make the soup more delicious. It is best to peel the vegetables and grate them.
Tomatoes are added to the frying pan after about five minutes of cooking the other ingredients.
