Chicken rassolnik with barley and pickles

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 1 hr

1. STEP 1

   

   How to cook pickle soup in chicken broth with barley and pickles? Prepare your ingredients. Soak the pearl barley for 10-12 hours. Rinse the cereal a couple of times during this time. In addition to the thighs, you can also take other parts of the chicken: legs, wings. Fill the chicken thighs with cold water in a saucepan, cover with a lid and place on medium heat. Just before boiling, skim off the foam using a slotted spoon. Cook the broth for about 20 minutes, then remove the thighs.

2. STEP 2

   

   While the broth is cooking, prepare the remaining ingredients. Peel the potatoes, wash and finely chop. Cover the potatoes with water to prevent them from browning. Peel the carrots, wash them and grate them on a coarse grater. Cut the pickled cucumbers into cubes. Peel the onion and chop finely.

3. STEP 3

   

   After you have removed the thighs from the broth, add the potatoes and pearl barley to the pan. Bring everything to a boil, remove the resulting foam and cook the soup for about 20 minutes.

4. STEP 4

   

   While the potatoes and pearl barley are boiling, fry them. Pour vegetable oil into a frying pan and heat it. Add the onion to the pan and fry it for about 5 minutes. Then add the carrots to the onion, stir, and fry for another 5 minutes. Add pickles and tomato paste, stir and fry for another 5 minutes. Add flour, add a little broth and stir. Let the frying boil, then turn off the heat.

5. STEP 5

   

   Remove the skin from the cooled thighs, separate the meat from the bones and separate it into fibers with your hands.

6. STEP 6

   

   20 minutes after boiling the potatoes and barley, add the frying agent, boiled chicken meat, bay leaf, salt and spices to the pan. I have a ready-made soup mix. Stir, taste the soup and adjust if necessary. Once boiling, cook for another 2 minutes and then turn off the heat. Let the soup brew under the lid for about 10 minutes, then serve it. Bon appetit!

For lunch I cooked chicken pickle with barley and pickles. For the broth I used chicken backs, they make a good broth. I also had a small beef bone, which I also put in the pan. For taste, I put a small onion and a couple of parsley sprigs into the broth, then took them out. I also soaked the pearl barley overnight and washed it before cooking. To fry, I cut the onion into cubes and grated the carrots on a coarse grater. I also decided to grate the cucumbers and put them in the fryer along with the brine. From the spices I took vegetable seasoning, paprika and dried dill. Simmered everything together over low heat for about 10 minutes so that all the flavors came together. The rassolnik came out tasty, rich and thick. A great option to keep warm in rainy weather.

I really love chicken pickle with pickles and pearl barley. But it always seemed like something was missing from him. And now I did it!!!! Although I did everything as needed. But this time I pre-fried the pearl barley, and then I cooked it with the meat for about two hours. Then everything follows the recipe. But I also added cucumber pickle. And I took beef on the bone. The soup turned out very tasty! Simply delicious!!!
