Buckwheat Soup with Sausages
Light and filling. Perfect for summer — low in calories and tasty :). This soup came straight out of my head (I imagine a recipe like it exists, but I honestly don't know). So one day I bought some "fitness" rabbit-meat sausages, since I watch my figure and don't eat pork — just 90 calories per 100 grams, and they really caught my eye. Sadly, they turned out tough as rubber, with barely any flavor no matter how long you cook them. But I didn't want to just toss them, so I decided to make a soup. Since I'm into healthy eating, there aren't many things to pair with sausages (meat) — mostly vegetables and greens — but buckwheat goes with everything, so that's how I came up with this soup.
Cooking method
-
Step 1:
Put the buckwheat on the stove with a set amount of water (I used 5 tablespoons for 1.2 liters, about 5 cups, of water) and cook it.
-
Step 2:
Brown the sausages in a dry skillet for about 3 minutes (to render off some fat :) ). Drop them into the soup and let them cook along with the buckwheat.
-
Step 3:
Next, sweat the onion in a skillet with a little oil. I cook it covered over low heat — it takes much longer that way, but it won't burn and it releases plenty of its own juice, so a teaspoon of oil is enough for 1–2 onions. The onion also comes out MUCH tastier and more aromatic this way. You could call it my little onion secret ;) It takes about 10 minutes.
-
Step 4:
Next, add the carrot; you can add a bit more oil, since carrots soak up quite a lot, but again we're cooking covered, so don't overdo it. About 3 minutes.
-
Step 5:
Chop the green onion.
-
Step 6:
Chop the pickle. If you don't have one, go get some — this is the ingredient that makes the soup so much tastier :D
-
Step 7:
Add everything to the soup and take it off the heat ;D
- I didn't photograph every step, since there were a lot of people bustling around the kitchen, but the most important ones are here — and honestly, I think the recipe is very easy to follow.))
