Rassolnik (Beef, Barley and Pickle Soup)
Some evenings I don’t have the time to prepare long, thought out dinners and this Rassolnik (Beef, Barley and Pickle Soup), a traditional Russian soup, originating almost over 500 years ago, is a wonderful and easy way to get in all your vegetables and nutrients. I begin in the afternoon by chopping a variety of vegetables then add them to a pot of pre-boiled barley and lean beef bites, and season everything with tomato paste, dill, bay leaves and freshly ground black pepper. Leave to boil until you’re ready to serve and enjoy with some sour cream and fresh dill on top.Â
To make Rassolnik (Beef, Barley and Pickle Soup), you will need the following ingredients:

5 star meal for sure! this was extremely flavor, though not so cheap the taste is worth every penny :)
Not a huge fan of how this turned out just because there is too much of everything but i did enjoy the Solyanka a lot more.
Obsessed with the flavors in this dish couldnt be happier honestly, will be trying out a lot more.
Maybe a little sour cause the pickles but good.
Huge crowd pleaser my family ate this up instantly!
Very filling despite it being only a soup, the beef soaked in most of the soup so it was a little bit too salty but still delicious and all the flavors are wonderful combined.
Sooo much going on in this Russian appetizer but really freaking delicious to say the least.
Great soup for a small family gathering thanks for sharing.
What exactly is pearl barley?..
Lean beef is slightly expensive where I live so I replaced it with pork, was delicious.
Great recipe! Thanks for sharing!
