Solyanka is a dish of traditional Russian cuisine, a real soup, hot, sour, spicy and very rich. Do not confuse it with cabbage solyanka, another Russian dish, which we will talk about later on the pages of our section - neither potatoes nor cabbage are added to real solyanka!
Solyanka is a rather expensive dish, you immediately understand this when you see the list necessary products. Therefore, most often, hodgepodge is prepared after grand feasts, when there is a lot of sausage, meat, mushrooms and fish delicacies, as well as olives, capers and other goodies that the average family allows themselves only for the holidays. And the taste of hodgepodge is very conducive to recovery after libations!
Classical meat solyanka must contain at least three types of meat products. In addition to boiled beef or pork, boiled tongue, liver and kidneys look good in hodgepodge (they are cooked separately, so housewives rarely use them in cooking). It is advisable to add some smoked meats - they will add additional aroma and taste to your dish. Some housewives put several types of sausage instead of meat - well, the economy version of hodgepodge is also acceptable.
To give a spicy, salty, sour taste - business card Solyanka - use salted or pickled cucumbers, black olives, capers, salted or pickled mushrooms, lemon and lime, as well as brine and tomato paste. It’s better not to add brine from store-bought pickled cucumbers, who knows how many preservatives are in the jar? There is no need to be afraid of this with homemade cucumbers. Sometimes they put it in hodgepodge sauerkraut, but these are already variations.
When serving, place lemon slices, sour cream and herbs on plates. Remember that you don’t put sour cream in fish soup.

Solyanka is a traditional Russian soup with a masculine character. Solyanka turns out especially tasty in a slow cooker. Fortunately, it is very easy to prepare. I am happy to share a quick recipe for economical hodgepodge! If you want to cook a real “rich” hodgepodge in a slow cooker, pre-cook beef broth and do not put potatoes in the soup. But even in my version, the solyanka turns out amazingly satisfying and tasty. The piquancy of this first dish is given by a special sour-salty taste, which we achieve by combining pickles, lemon, olives (olives) and meat broth. Moreover, the soup does not lose its taste the next day. Shall we get started?
To prepare hodgepodge in a slow cooker for 4-6 servings, you need 1 hour.
Ingredients:
- Doctor's sausage – 200 grams
- Smoked sausage (servelat) – 200 grams
- Young potatoes – 2-3 pieces
- Pickled cucumbers and gherkins – 8-10 pieces
- Onion heads – 1 piece
- Lemon – 1 piece
- Filtered water – 2 liters
- Pitted olives – 8-10 pieces
- Salt and spices - to taste
- Tomato paste – 1 tablespoon
- Little olive - 1 tablespoon
Method for preparing hodgepodge in a slow cooker
Solyanka is usually cooked in meat broth, but I consider this a translation of products, because... from sausage, especially two different varieties, the soup turns out to be nourishing and rich. But if you have ready-made meat or vegetable broth– use it safely.
We prepare the products for hodgepodge in a multicooker and put the multicooker itself into working condition.
We start preparing hodgepodge without broth - by frying it. We clean the doctor's sausage and smoked sausage from the skin. Cut into thin slices, then into strips or cubes.
![](https://i0.wp.com/multipovarenok.ru/wp-content/uploads/cache/2014/05/sbmsvmr2.jpg)
Peel the onions. Rinse and wipe with a napkin. Be sure to chop the onion finely into cubes.
![](https://i2.wp.com/multipovarenok.ru/wp-content/uploads/cache/2014/05/sbmsvmr3.jpg)
Pour vegetable oil into the multicooker bowl. Place the sausage and turn on the multicooker to the “Fry” mode. Fry the sausage, stirring occasionally, for 5-7 minutes. Never turn on the multicooker without food, you may damage the bowl.
![](https://i0.wp.com/multipovarenok.ru/wp-content/uploads/cache/2014/05/sbmsvmr4.jpg)
Add onions to the sausage during frying. Fry the onion until golden brown.
![](https://i0.wp.com/multipovarenok.ru/wp-content/uploads/cache/2014/05/sbmsvmr5.jpg)
Then add a spoonful of tomato paste. Lightly fry the sausage, onion and pasta.

Meanwhile, peel the washed potatoes and cut them into cubes.
![](https://i0.wp.com/multipovarenok.ru/wp-content/uploads/cache/2014/05/sbmsvmr7.jpg)
Pour the potatoes into the slow cooker for frying.
Fill with water and reset the program to “Stew/Soup”. Cook the hodgepodge in a slow cooker for 30 minutes.
![](https://i1.wp.com/multipovarenok.ru/wp-content/uploads/cache/2014/05/sbmsvmr8.jpg)
Pickled cucumbers can be pre-soaked in boiling water. But since I used gherkins and not barrel cucumbers, I didn't do this.
We cut the gherkins into slices of a convenient size.
![](https://i1.wp.com/multipovarenok.ru/wp-content/uploads/cache/2014/05/sbmsvmr9.jpg)
At the signal, open the multicooker, drop the gherkins into the hodgepodge, and stir. Add another 10 minutes of time on the same program.
![](https://i2.wp.com/multipovarenok.ru/wp-content/uploads/cache/2014/05/sbmsvmr10.jpg)
When the soup is ready, you can add salt. It is not recommended to add salt at the beginning of cooking, because... We certainly cannot know how much salt cucumbers and sausage will give to Solyanka.
Pour the hodgepodge into broth bowls.
![](https://i1.wp.com/multipovarenok.ru/wp-content/uploads/cache/2014/05/sbmsvmr11.jpg)
Solyanka is traditionally served with a slice of lemon and black olives.
Bon appetit!

My husband is a fan of solyanka, so I cook it often, and I’ll share a little of my experience. It is better to grate cucumbers, and this recipe is not a quick, cheap hodgepodge!
