Solyanka with chicken sausage and potatoes

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 1 hr 40 mins

1. STEP 1

   

   How to cook a delicious hodgepodge with chicken, sausage and potatoes? This is a very simple soup, despite the large number of ingredients. To begin, prepare the necessary ingredients according to the list. For the base of the broth, I took half a large chicken breast on the bone. You can replace it with any other part of the carcass with bone: leg, thigh, drumstick. You can replace tomato sauce with tomato paste diluted with a small amount of water or ketchup.

2. STEP 2

   

   Peel the potatoes and cut into cubes or small pieces.

3. STEP 3

   

   Cut both types of sausage into strips. You can take smoked sausage raw smoked or dry-cured, preferably not very fatty. Also take the boiled sausage that you like to taste.

4. STEP 4

   

   Cut the cucumbers into strips. If you don't have pickled cucumbers, you can replace them with pickled ones.

5. STEP 5

   

   Grate the carrots on a coarse grater.

6. STEP 6

   

   Cut the onion into small cubes.

7. STEP 7

   

   Cut half a lemon into slices.

8. STEP 8

   

   Wash the chicken, place in lightly salted boiling water and boil for about 30 minutes until cooked. You can vary the amount of water for the soup according to your taste and desired thickness* (see notes after the recipe) If you want a thicker broth, cook the meat together with the skin. I removed the skin to reduce the calorie content of the dish.

9. STEP 9

   

   Add the potatoes to the broth 15 minutes after the chicken starts cooking. Continue cooking, skimming off the foam.

10. STEP 10

    

    While the chicken and potatoes are cooking, heat the vegetable oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Fry the onions and carrots for about 2-3 minutes until soft.

11. STEP 11

    

    Add cucumbers to the pan and simmer, stirring, for a couple more minutes.

12. STEP 12

    

    Add tomato sauce and, if desired, some cucumber pickle.

13. STEP 13

    

    Add both types of sausage and simmer over low heat, stirring, for 10 minutes.

14. STEP 14

    

    Remove the finished leg from the broth, separate the meat from the bones, and cut into small pieces.

15. STEP 15

    

    Return chicken to broth.

16. STEP 16

    

    Then immediately transfer the dressing. Stir.

17. STEP 17

    

    Add olives. Bring the hodgepodge to a boil, add salt and pepper to taste.

18. STEP 18

    

    I add lemon to the pan with hodgepodge and boil everything together for another 2-3 minutes. Instead of lemon wedges, you can squeeze the juice out of them and pour it into the pan. If you wish, you can add lemon not to the pan, but right before serving, by cutting the lemon into slices or squeezing the juice.

19. STEP 19

    

    Remove the pan from the stove, cover with a lid and let stand for 10 minutes. Bon appetit!

Wonderful recipe! Solyanka is simply classy! The dish is hearty, tasty and hot. But I modified the recipe a little, I used squeezed lemon juice so that the crusts would not be bitter, not lemon, and I had hunting sausages instead of smoked sausage. My gourmets are happy.

In our family, only my husband and I eat solyanka soup, so I prepared a small saucepan for us) I cooked the broth on a chicken wing, there was not enough meat, but the broth turned out tasty and rich. The potatoes, like the other ingredients, were also cut into long pieces for harmony) I only had boiled sausage, it’s a pity there wasn’t a variety of sausages this time. But the soup turned out delicious anyway) I especially like that the sausage is fried along with the vegetables. I used homemade tomato sauce, which also adds a little sweetness. The only negative for me in any hodgepodge is the olives. I don’t like them, so I put a little of them and cut them into rings. I added the lemon after turning off the burner and removed it after the soup had steeped. I really liked Solyanka, it’s tasty and rich. My soup turned out thick, which made me very happy) My husband liked it too, he ate my olives at the same time) Thank you for the delicious recipe Solyanka with chicken sausage and potatoes!

Solyanka is super, but before cooking the meat ingredients, I always fry them, already chopped, until crusty, then follow the recipe. Thank you!

I make hodgepodge using approximately the same recipe, mine eat 2 plates each! The more meat ingredients, the better, you can add sausages and bacon, but be sure to add more smoke, then the taste will be richer. The convenience is that preparing hodgepodge does not take much time.

I always ate solyanka only in restaurants and thought that I wouldn’t be able to cook it myself, but when I visited the cookbook, I easily found the recipe for my favorite solyanka. Thank you very much to the creators of Recipe Saver.
