    Step 17:

  • Soak the beef kidneys for 10–12 hours, changing the water for fresh now and then. At the same time, rinse and soak the pearl barley. Trim the kidneys of membranes and fat, cut them into small pieces, and soak them another 3 hours, changing the water every hour. Cover the kidneys with fresh water, boil for 10 minutes, then drain. Rinse the kidneys, then simmer them over low heat for an hour and a half. Cut the potatoes into strips and add them, along with the rinsed pearl barley, to the boiling beef broth. Cook over low heat until the potatoes are tender. Finely chop the onion and sauté it in vegetable oil. Grate the pickles on a fine grater and add them to the onion, frying everything another 5–6 minutes. Let the kidneys cool, then slice them into thin pieces. Add the kidneys and the sautéed mixture to the broth. Bring the soup to a boil and let it simmer another 10 minutes over low heat. Serve with fresh herbs and sour cream.
