Rassolnik with Rice, Chicken Breast, and Pickle Brine

A fragrant rassolnik to lift your spirits! Classic rassolnik with rice makes a great lunch. It's nice if you have a piece of chicken on hand so the broth turns out rich and aromatic. Rassolnik (a tangy Eastern European pickle soup) is usually made with pearl barley, but that takes a long time to cook, so rice stands in for it nicely here.

    1. Rinse the chicken breast, put it in a pot, cover with the water, and bring it to a boil. Cook for 20 minutes, skimming off the foam as it goes.
    1. Peel and wash the carrot and onion. Grate the carrot on the coarse holes and sauté it in vegetable oil, then add it to the broth. Add the onion whole.
    1. Peel, wash, and dice the potatoes as you usually would for soup. Rinse the rice a couple of times.
    1. Lift the chicken breast out of the broth, let it cool a little, and cut it into small pieces. Take the onion out too—you won't need it anymore.
    1. Add the potatoes and rice to the broth and cook for 15 minutes.
    1. Dice the pickles and add them to the soup, pour in the pickle brine, return the chicken pieces, add the pepper and bay leaves, season with salt to taste, and cook for 5 minutes.
  • Serve the rassolnik in individual bowls, garnished with fresh herbs.
  • Enjoy!
