Instructions
Step 1
To prepare pickle, you need to cook a good rich meat broth. For him, it is better to take meat on the bone, this will give a greater richness to the taste. It is impossible to cook broth quickly. This will take at least 1 hour of time. Therefore, if you need to cook pickle according to a quick recipe, then we take the broth ready-made, pre-cooked and frozen. Bring the broth to a boil. While it is warming up, cut the meat into pieces and send it to a saucepan with broth, let it simmer for about 15 minutes.
Step 2
We clean the potatoes, cut into cubes and send them to the boiling broth.
Step 3
Pearl barley is also not an instant product. In a classic pickle, the pearl barley must be soaked in advance, 12-24 hours in advance, so that it is not "rubbery". In a quick pickle we use rice. It needs to be rinsed several times and poured into the pan.
Step 4
To prepare frying for pickle, you need to peel the onion and chop it finely. We also peel the carrots and grate them three. Fry vegetables in a hot skillet with seasonings and salt. We chop pickles and send them to vegetable frying. After 2 minutes, the resulting mixture can be added to the soup.
Step 5
Cook the soup for another 10 minutes over medium heat and taste. Add salt, pepper and seasonings at personal discretion. Fresh herbs and sour cream will well complement the finished dish.
