Solyanka soup and hodgepodge for the second

To be fair, let's say that different options hodgepodge looks different: in some recipes it looks more like a soup, someone likes it thicker, and then it is more a second course than a first course. Howbeit, the best option on "after the holidays" can not be found. Firstly, because it really perfectly restores the mineral-salt balance of an organism exhausted by “various excesses”, and secondly, because you can actually cook it from what is at hand: sausages, ham, brisket, mushrooms, lard-meat and even just vegetables. There is so much of this goodness after the holidays that you can invite the entire entrance to the hodgepodge.
And two types of hodgepodge differ in the amount of water for the broth: make it more liquid - there will be a soup, and if it is thicker, then an appetizer.

How to cook a combined meat hodgepodge

This very brutal recipe was inherited by us, apparently, from furry ancestors. Therefore, it is he who is terribly liked by men. Believe me, having learned how to cook a meat team hodgepodge, you will find the shortest path to a man's heart. The composition of the dish is approximate, the types of meat can be varied - the more varied, the tastier.
The broth is taken as the basis. Pour 600-700 grams of beef on the bone in a large saucepan with water, bring to a boil, remove the foam with a slotted spoon, reduce the heat to a minimum and cook for an hour and a half. The broth must be salted very carefully! Because next we will add cold cuts, which may already contain enough salt. Therefore, we add salt to the hodgepodge at the very end, then we add spices. Don't go overboard with them either. When the hodgepodge is infused, all the smoked and salty ingredients will give off their flavor, and it may turn out to be too much! So a bay leaf, a little pepper - and that's enough.


meat feast

Another secret: you need to remove the top skin from a small onion, and burn the rest (along with the peel) over an open fire until a brown tan. Throw the whole onion into the broth along with the meat. It will give the aroma of a fire and a golden color.
We cover the broth with a lid, and while it is languishing, fry two finely chopped onions in oil (or shredded bacon, as you like), a little sugar to the onion, blushed - we send the grated carrot to it. Fried - we throw a couple of tablespoons of pasta, tomato sauce or chopped tomato there (remove the skin!) And simmer under the lid for five minutes.
We take out the bone from the finished broth, gourmets recommend straining the broth itself so that it looks perfect (the burnt onion needs to be caught).
Boiled meat from the broth, 100-200 grams of ham, sausages, smoked or semi-smoked sausage, cut into strips. 4 pickled cucumbers (if small gherkins, then more) are also chopped into thin slices.
In the filtered broth we send the passivated vegetables from the pan, bring to a boil, after - sliced ​​cucumbers, and our cold cuts. Cook another 10 minutes.
Turn off, insist under the lid.
Serve with sour cream and herbs.

In this way, classical hodgepodge recipe suggests the presence of meat, smoked meats, pickles, olives, lemon and capers. But, according to many readers, the soup that comes out of this set comes out a little empty, so we will prepare an adapted one for most solyanka with potatoes and carrots.

Ingredients

  • Meat on the bone, beef, but pork will do - 300-400 grams

We cut the cucumbers, we also send them to the pan to the carrots.

Many housewives make one common mistake, they throw cucumbers directly into the broth, but then the hodgepodge can come out quite sour.

So it's not for everyone, for my personal taste it's better to lightly simmer them in a pan.


We also send tomato paste to the pan, not a large number of of our broth, sugar, salt to taste, still let it go a little and carefully transfer all this mass into a saucepan.


Cut all the smoked meats into small slices, lightly fry them and put them in the pan with the main dish.


You can also add a little brine from under the cucumbers to the broth, if not, then put the olives straight with a half jar of brine from under the olives.

It's time to put the greens and taste the hodgepodge to taste: if necessary, add salt. Cook for another 5-8 minutes and turn off. You can throw a few slices of lemon directly into the soup, or you can cut it directly into a plate - this is to your taste. I do this and that, according to my mood. We serve a hodgepodge with sour cream and lemon, see the photo below:


In general, there are not just a lot of recipes for making hodgepodge, but a lot, each housewife has her own: with mushrooms, with the addition of capers, without meat, with a fragrant bouquet of various spices.

Cucumbers cut into small cubes. Add to the onions and carrots and simmer all together for another 5 minutes.


Add tomato paste, stir and cook over low heat for another 5-7 minutes.


Smoked meats cut into small cubes. You can put what you like in the hodgepodge. This time I had hunting sausages, ham and veal balyk.


Fry the smoked meats over high heat for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally.

In the broth, brought to a boil, add vegetables with tomato paste, mix and cook for 5 minutes.


Then add chopped pork and fried smoked meats. Stir, bring the broth to a boil. Then cover the pan with a lid and cook over low heat for 10-15 minutes. Turn off the heat and let the hodgepodge brew for another 20-30 minutes.
