This delicious soup will warm you up in the winter and satisfy your hunger in the summer. Since childhood, solyanka has been one of my favorite first dishes. I cook it differently every time, using different types of meat and grains. This time it was the turn of the pearl barley. I always put more meat in it. With such a hearty first course, there is no need to eat the second course.

Today I made solyanka with barley for lunch. In general, I like different types of solyanka, the only thing I don’t like is olives, so I don’t add them. I chose this recipe because the composition is reminiscent of pickle, and my children love it). I started cooking in the evening, boiled pearl barley and made broth using beef with bones. In the morning I separated the meat and cut it. I used frozen sausage and bacon as meat additives. I often freeze leftovers of various meat products just for hodgepodge. I didn’t cut the pickles, grated them on a coarse grater and stewed them with tomato paste. Then I simmered everything over low heat so that the potatoes, pearl barley and meat were well soaked in the tomato and cucumber brine. The soup turned out so rich, it’s just a miracle! Very nourishing, aromatic, it has many different tastes. I advise everyone to prepare hodgepodge according to this recipe, because you can experiment with meat ingredients and get a new taste!
