Rassolnik (Pickle Soup) with Chicken and Rice

Make an unusually tasty soup course instead of the usual soup! Rassolnik with chicken and rice isn't quite the traditional way of making this famous Russian soup, but it turns out very tasty. It also saves time, since rice cooks faster than pearl barley. If you'd rather skip the heat, you can leave out the chili pepper.
