| | Description | | Rassolnik is kidney and pickle soup. Rassolnik is one of the most popular Russian soups, it is famous for its unusual taste, as pickle impart piquant relish to the soup. | | | Method | To prepare the kidneys, remove their fat and membrane, cut in half, cover with cold water, and let soak for 6 hours, changing the water every 2 hours. Discard the last water.
While the kidneys are soaking, cut the carrot, parsley and celery roots, and onion into julienne strips. In 4-quart pot, bring 2 quarters of water to a boil. Add the kidneys (or the giblets, if you are using them), julienned vegetables, 1 teaspoon salt, and the peppercorns and bay leaves, and bring to a boil again. Lower the heat and simmer, partially covered, for 30 minutes. Meanwhile, peel the potatoes and cut into 1-inch cubes. Strain the stock, discarding the vegetables. Cut the kidneys into 1/4-inch slices and return to the stock, adding the potatoes and rice. Cook slowly, partially covered, for 20 minutes, then add the pickles and simmer 5 minutes more. Turn off the heat, cover completely, and allow the flavors to mingle for 5 minutes. Blend the sour cream with 1 cup of soup and stir it back into the pot, then taste the seasoning.

Рассольник
Настоящий русский рассольник готовится с перловой крупой, а не с рисом. Перловая крупа варится отдельно до полуготовности, потом кладется в суп. Для улучшения вкуса соленые огурцы в рассоле доводятся до кипения в отдельной посуде, и лишь затем добавляются в суп.

Overcooked kidneys.
If you cook kidneys for 50 minutes, as indicated in the recipe, they will turn hard and rubbery. I slice the kidneys and quickly sautee them in butter for some 5-6 mins and add them to the soup for the last 5 minutes or so.
