Simple Classic Solyanka with Sausage (No Meat)

Cooking method
-
Step 1:
We'll make a simple classic solyanka with sausage — both boiled and smoked, and no meat. So, first peel half a kilogram of potatoes and 300 g of onions, take 300 grams of pickled cucumbers out of the jar, drain the liquid from a small jar or pouch of pitted green olives, and scoop out a heaping tablespoon of tomato paste. Have 300 grams of boiled sausage and 100 g of smoked sausage ready. For frying, you'll need a little vegetable oil, plus salt and a lemon.
-
Step 2:
Cut the potatoes into large cubes.
-
Step 3:
Cover the cut potatoes with water in a pot and set them over high heat to cook. Once it comes to a boil, cook them over medium heat for 15 minutes.
-
Step 4:
Now cut the onion into small cubes.
-
Step 5:
After the onion, cut the boiled and smoked sausage into cubes as well.
-
Step 6:
Add the chopped onion and sausage to a skillet with vegetable oil.
-
Step 7:
Set the skillet with the onion and sausage on the stove as well, and first fry for a couple of minutes over high heat, then for 10 minutes over medium heat, stirring.
-
Step 8:
While the potatoes boil and the sausage and onion fry, cut the pickled cucumbers into small cubes.
-
Step 9:
Cut the green olives into rings — slice each olive crosswise into 3–4 rings.
-
Step 10:
After 10 minutes of frying, add the tomato paste to the sausage in the skillet.
-
Step 11:
Lower the heat, stir the sausage and tomato paste well, and sauté over low heat for about 10 more minutes.
-
Step 12:
By now the potatoes in the pot are cooked, so transfer the sausage and onion in tomato to the pot.
-
Step 13:
After a minute, add the chopped pickled cucumbers and olives to the pot.
-
Step 14:
After another minute, salt the soup and stir well.
-
Step 15:
Cover the pot of solyanka with a lid, let it simmer on low heat for another minute, then turn off the heat. The classic solyanka with sausage is ready, but let it rest for another 10 minutes.
-
Step 16:
Ladle the hot solyanka into bowls and add a thin slice of lemon to each serving.
-
Step 17:
And the solyanka will be even tastier if you serve it with sour cream.
- I try not to fry the sausage and onion until browned, but to cook them over low heat just until the onion turns translucent.
- The tomato paste in this recipe can be replaced with canned tomatoes in their own juice, fresh tomatoes, or ketchup.
- Important! Whether or not the recipe gives an amount of water for the soup, it's best to go by your own preferences (whether you like thick or thinner soup), as well as the size of your pot and the ingredients you're using. Don't forget that the author has their own idea of how much meat, potatoes, grains, and other ingredients should go into the soup, which may not match yours. In practice, this means that if you're cooking it for the first time, you shouldn't make a whole pot at once. Make a tasting batch — for one or two people. To do this, reduce all the ingredients to 1–2 servings, and figure the water at anywhere from one cup per serving (for a very thick soup) to 1.5–2 cups (for a thinner one). Don't forget that some of the liquid will boil off during cooking. After tasting a small batch, you can adjust both the amount of liquid and the proportions of ingredients to your taste. From then on, like most experienced cooks, you'll be able to add water and ingredients by eye.
- Since everyone's tolerance for saltiness, sweetness, bitterness, spiciness, acidity, and heat is different, always add spices and seasonings to your own taste! If you're using a particular seasoning for the first time, keep in mind that some are especially easy to overdo (chili pepper, for example).
