Classic rassolnik with rice

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 1 hr

1. STEP 1

   

   How to cook classic rassolnik with rice? Prepare all the necessary ingredients. You can use any parts of the chicken for the broth. Let's prepare the vegetables. Peel the onion. Wash the carrots and potatoes in running water with a brush, peel and rinse in water. Rinse the rice several times so that the water remains clear.

2. STEP 2

   

   Rinse the chicken in running water and place in a saucepan. Fill with cold water, put on fire and bring to a boil. Cook in boiling water for 30 minutes. When boiling, foam will form that must be skimmed off. Then remove the chicken from the pan using a slotted spoon, cool slightly and separate the meat from the bones.

3. STEP 3

   

   Strain the broth and return to the heat. Place chicken meat in it. Bring everything to a boil. The broth can be strained through several layers of cheesecloth or a clean kitchen towel. This will remove any remaining foam and make it clean and transparent.

4. STEP 4

   

   Cut the peeled potatoes into small pieces and add to the pan along with the rice. Leave to cook for 15 minutes.

5. STEP 5

   

   At this time, grate the carrots and finely chop the onion. Place the chopped vegetables in a hot frying pan with a small amount of vegetable oil. Fry everything together for 2-3 minutes.

6. STEP 6

   

   Cut the cucumbers into small cubes or in another way that is familiar to you. Add to the frying, fry everything together for a couple more minutes and remove from heat.

7. STEP 7

   

   Add the fried pickles to the pot of soup. Add a little salt and spices to taste. Stir.

8. STEP 8

   

   Boil the pickle with rice and chicken for a couple more minutes and turn off the heat. Cover it with a lid and let it sit for a while to allow the flavors to infuse each other's aromas.

9. STEP 9

   

   Pour the finished soup into bowls and serve. Bon appetit!

I prepare rassolnik a little differently. I really love the dish with barley and the addition of tomato paste.

This recipe turned out to be an excellent pickle for me. Finally, I found a pickle recipe that I like. The fact is that I don’t like pearl barley and the combination of tomato and pickled cucumbers either. And everything comes together perfectly in this soup. The rice and chicken are delicious on their own, and the pickled cucumber adds the necessary piquancy. By the way, I used lightly salted cucumbers and peeled the skin for greater tenderness. Rassolnik is very tasty! My daughter and I enjoyed our lunch)

For lunch I cooked a classic rassolnik with rice. I cooked it with chicken broth. It takes very little time to prepare. The rassolnik turns out to be very tasty, light, appetizing, with a pleasant sourness. For those who like something sour, you should add cucumber pickle to taste when cooking. When serving, you can add greens. Thanks for the recipe, Julia M!
