Step-by-step cooking
Step 1:
We will cook a simple classic hodgepodge with sausage – boiled and smoked without meat. So, first we peel half a kilogram of potatoes, 300 g of onions, take 300 grams of pickled cucumbers out of the jar, pour the liquid from a small jar or bag of green olives without seeds, we will collect a tablespoon of tomato paste from the top. We will prepare 300 grams of boiled sausage and 100 grams of smoked. For frying, a little vegetable oil, salt and lemon.
Step 2:
Cut potatoes into large cubes.
Step 3:
Fill the sliced potatoes in a saucepan with water and put them on a high heat to cook. From the moment of boiling, cook it on medium heat for 15 minutes.
Step 4:
Now cut the onion into small cubes.
Step 5:
After the onion, we also cut the boiled and smoked sausage into cubes.
Step 6:
Pour the chopped onion and sausage into a frying pan with vegetable oil.
Step 7:
We also put the frying pan with onions and sausage on the stove and first fry for a couple of minutes on high heat, and then for 10 minutes on average, stirring.
Step 8:
While the potatoes are being cooked and the sausage with onions is being fried, we cut the pickled cucumbers into small cubes.
Step 9:
Cut green olives into rings – cut each olive across into 3-4 rings.
Step 10:
After 10 minutes of frying, add tomato paste to the sausage in the pan.
Step 11:
Reduce the heat, mix the sausage and pasta well and pass it over low heat for about 10 minutes more.
Step 12:
By this time, the potatoes in the pan have already boiled, and the sausage with onion in tomato is transferred to the pan.
Step 13:
After a minute, add the chopped pickled cucumbers and olives to the pan.
Step 14:
After another minute, salt the soup, mix well.
Step 15:
Cover the pot with the hodgepodge with a lid, let it boil on low heat for another minute and turn off the fire. The classic hodgepodge with sausage is ready, but we let it brew for another 10 minutes.
Step 16:
Pour the hot hodgepodge into plates and put a thin slice of lemon in each serving.
Step 17:
And the hodgepodge will be even tastier if you serve it with sour cream.
I try not to fry sausage and onions until browning, but to cook over low heat so that the onion only becomes transparent.
Tomato paste in this recipe can be replaced with tomatoes in their own juice, fresh tomatoes or ketchup.
Important! Regardless of whether the amount of water for soup is indicated in the recipe or not, it is best to focus on your own preferences (thick or more liquid soup you like), as well as on the size of your pan and the products taken for cooking. Do not forget that the author has his own view on the amount of meat, potatoes, cereals and other ingredients in the soup, which may not coincide with yours. In practice, this means that if you are cooking for the first time, you should not cook a whole pot at once. Make a soup for tasting - for one or two people. To do this, reduce the amount of all ingredients according to the recipe to 1-2 servings, and take the amount of water from the calculation: from one cup per serving - if the soup is very thick, to 1.5-2 cups - if more liquid. Do not forget to take into account that part of the liquid will boil off during the cooking process. After tasting a small portion of soup, you can adjust both the amount of liquid and the proportions of ingredients to your taste. In the future, like most experienced housewives, you will be able to pour water for soup and lay the ingredients “by eye".
Since the degree of salinity, sweetness, bitterness, sharpness, acid, burning is individual for everyone, always add spices, spices and seasonings, focusing on your taste! If you put some of the seasonings for the first time, then keep in mind that there are spices that it is especially important not to shift (for example, chili pepper).
