As a first course, rassolnik appeared in the times of Ancient Rus'. Back then, the soup was prepared using various brines - cucumber or cabbage. Meat or fish ingredients were used for the broth. Today, the pickle recipe has changed significantly. The classic set includes potatoes, carrots, onions, pearl barley or rice, pickles and meat. Rassolnik is prepared lean or dietary, that is, meat components are excluded from the recipe or a rich, satisfying soup is cooked in broth with chicken, beef, pork and other types of poultry or farm animals.
Traditionally, housewives make soup using pots for boiling the main ingredients of first courses and a frying pan for frying vegetables. With the advent of smart assistants in the kitchen - slow cookers or pressure cookers, making pickle soup has become much faster and easier. How to prepare a delicious soup with pickled cucumbers using the Moulinex and Redmond technique, read our step-by-step recipe with photos. It describes in detail how to cook the broth, fry and simmer the soup.
Recipe with rice
Initially, brine-based stew was cooked with the addition of pearl barley. But the classic recipe can be varied. In particular, replace pearl barley with rice. It all depends on your own preferences. It is worth considering several rules for preparing delicious soup with grains. First, it is recommended to choose the right variety of rice. For pickle sauce, a white, round one is better suited. When purchasing, be sure to pay attention to the expiration date. Secondly, just like barley, the rice needs to be soaked in advance, since the broth itself has a chance of cooking it poorly.
Tip : to make the grains softer, soak them in hot water for 2-3 hours. Then drain the liquid and rinse the cereal itself under running water. Another option is to cook the rice until half cooked.
The technology for preparing pickle soup with rice in a slow cooker remains the same. All ingredients are preserved and the sequence of steps does not change. That is, vegetables are initially fried to the desired consistency in vegetable oil and seasoned with tomato paste. Then potatoes and rice are added, and all components are filled with broth and brine. The modes and timer remain the same. The finished hot soup is poured into plates. Served with sour cream, homemade slightly spicy adjika and fresh slices of bread.

This can be done using a separate pan or directly in the kitchen appliance. Use the “Soup” or “Stew” mode. Cooking time – 2.5-3 hours. Afterwards, pour the broth into a separate bowl and set aside. It will be used by us in the future. Cut the meat into arbitrary portions. In addition, homemade lamb often has a not very pleasant smell. To get rid of it, it is recommended to put the meat with an onion head, a bay leaf and one clove of garlic.

Rassolnik with rice and pickles. 4 most delicious recipes
Rassolnik is a wonderful homemade soup whose history dates back to the fifteenth century and a favorite dish at that time called "kalya", which was brewed from cereals and the addition of brine from homemade pickles.
That old recipe has gone through centuries of modifications to now have the look and taste of the dish that many of us love.
Today we will tell you how to prepare rassolnik with rice and pickles in various types of broth, one of the popular versions of this soup.
As you can understand from the name alone, brine occupied an important place in the preparation of the soup, which in our time has been successfully replaced by pickles.
The basis for pickle with rice can be broth made from pork, beef, chicken, mushrooms or vegetable broth if the soup includes a lean version. Each of these options is good in its own way and can be quite successfully alternated depending on preferences or available products.
Rassolnik with rice and pickles with pork or beef
Many people can consider this soup a classic recipe for pickle soup with rice because pork broth is very popular for its taste and the availability of pork meat on store shelves, and we have long loved beef for the taste of the broth and low calorie content.
Pork is a fairly tender meat with a mild taste that does not require much time to cook, which is why it is so convenient to use for soup. The broth will be rich and very satisfying. But it is not recommended to use too fatty parts of the pork carcass. The soup comes out well from the shoulder with the bone. According to many housewives, the bones give the broth a special flavor.
Making beef broth will require more time, which will be spent pre-cooking the meat. Don't forget to skim the foam from the meat broth and turn on the stove over medium heat. Meat cooked covered over low heat comes out softer.
For the pickle you will need:
- pork or beef - 300-400 grams,
- potatoes - 3-4 pieces,
- carrots - 1 piece,
- onion - 1 onion,
- salted or pickled cucumbers - 4-5 pieces,
- white rice - 0.5 cups,
- greens - to taste.
Preparation:
1. To prepare the broth, wash the meat and cut it into not very large pieces if you are using boneless meat for soup. If the meat is on the bone, you can cook it whole, but be sure to rinse it very well so that you don’t get any small bone fragments. When the meat broth with bones is ready, you may need to strain it further.
2. Cook the meat until done. It can be identified by the sufficient softness and pleasant aroma of the meat broth. If you remember to skim off the foam, the broth will turn out clear.
It is enough to cook pork for about an hour; for beef, the period increases to 1.5-2 hours, depending on how hard the meat was used.
Long simmering under a lid over low heat has a good effect on both beef and pork, but will require longer cooking.
3. When the meat is ready, cut the potatoes into cubes and add to the meat broth. The meat on the bone can be removed from the broth to separate the meat from the bone and then added back to the soup.
4. At the same time as the potatoes, rice is added to the broth. Before this, it must be rinsed with water several times until the excess starch, visible in the water in the form of a cloudy white precipitate, disappears. With washed rice, the soup will not become cloudy and the broth will be clear.
5. While the potatoes and rice are cooking, prepare the fried onions and carrots. To do this, finely chop the onion and grate the carrots on a coarse grater.
Heat the vegetable oil in a frying pan and first fry the onion until lightly browned, then add the carrots to it. Stir fry the vegetables for a few minutes.
You can cover with a lid and simmer lightly until the onions and carrots become soft. Remove the finished frying from the plate and leave until the potatoes and rice are ready.
6. If you are preparing pickles with pickles and rice, then the most characteristic ingredient in it is, of course, cucumbers.
They are added to the soup at the very end of cooking, because they do not need to be boiled, just letting them simmer for just a couple of minutes is enough.
For pickle, cucumbers must be finely chopped or grated on a coarse grater; this will depend only on your taste, whether you and your family like cucumber pieces to come across.
7. When the potatoes and rice are cooked until tender, put the chopped cucumbers in the pan, cook them for two to three minutes, then add the fry and mix well. Add bay leaf to soup.
8. Add salt to the soup to taste, keeping in mind that pickles will already have a slight saltiness. Be sure to taste the broth to see if there is enough salt. You can add ground black pepper for flavor and fresh herbs. Allspice peas are also great, literally 2-3 peas.
If desired, you can add a few tablespoons of cucumber brine that remains in the jar to such a pickle; this will give the broth a more pronounced taste of cucumbers. But keep in mind that this will also increase the salt content; do not over-salt the soup later.
Be sure to let the finished soup steep for at least 15 minutes, preferably half an hour. During this time, all components of the soup are saturated with each other’s aromas and the pickle with pickles and rice will turn out unforgettably delicious.
You can serve the soup with sour cream, garlic croutons and herbs. A wonderful family dinner is ready!

Rassolnik with rice and sausage - step-by-step recipe
Such a wonderful soup as rassolnik with rice and pickles can be prepared in countless different ways and with the addition of various ingredients, but in our opinion, such an original subtype as rassolnik with sausage deserves special attention. The good thing about it is that it can give you a completely new taste of a long-familiar dish. And you don’t need to cook the meat for broth for a long time.
For pickle with sausage you will need:
- pickled cucumbers - 5-6 pieces of medium size,
- potatoes - 2-3 pieces,
- smoked sausage - 300-400 grams,
- carrots - 1 medium size,
- white onion - 1 onion,
- short grain rice - 0.5 cups,
- cucumber pickle - 1 glass,
- salt, pepper, herbs to taste.
Preparing pickle soup with rice and sausage:
1. Since meat is not used for the broth, there is no need to cook the broth and the potatoes and rice are cooked first.
Rinse the rice thoroughly with running water until it becomes clear. Peel the potatoes and cut into cubes. Boil water in a saucepan, then add rice and potatoes and cook until tender.
2. Finely chop the onion and grate the carrots on a coarse grater. Heat vegetable oil in a frying pan, then fry the onion in it over medium heat until it becomes translucent. After this, add the grated carrots and fry them together until browned.
3. Finely chop the pickled cucumbers and add them to the frying pan with the onions and carrots, simmer a little until the cucumbers soften.
4. Prepare the sausage.
It is best to choose which sausage to use for soup by experimentation and, based on your preferences, we can only say from our own experience that smoked sausage makes the soup richer and more flavorful.
Others, on the contrary, like to use boiled sausage. But in this case, you need to buy good quality sausage, which has a high content of meat ingredients; cheap low-quality sausage can spoil the taste.
Cut the sausage for soup into cubes or strips of not very large sizes, so that it will be convenient for you to eat it later in the soup. Add the chopped sausage to the roasted vegetables and heat it for a few minutes over low heat together with them, stirring well. When the sausage reveals its aroma and is saturated with the juices of onions and carrots, turn off the stove and set the frying aside.
5. When the rice and potatoes are ready, add fried vegetables and sausage to the future soup, stir thoroughly and cook for another 5-10 minutes. Add salt to taste, 1-2 bay leaves and 2-3 allspice peas. Then, turn off the stove, cover the soup with a lid and let it brew for 10-15 minutes.
After this, the soup is ready. Believe me, you won’t soon forget the taste of pickle with rice and sausage according to this recipe, and your loved ones will ask for more.
