Pickle soup with corn
4 servings
30 minutes
Corn rassolnik is an original interpretation of the traditional Russian soup, harmoniously combining the saltiness of cucumbers and the sweet tenderness of corn. This soup dates back to ancient times when rassolniks were cooked in rich broths with pickles for added zest. In this recipe, the softness of the vegetable broth, the juiciness of potatoes, and the sweet-sour taste of corn create an unusual combination, while sour cream and herbs complete the composition, giving the soup freshness and softness. Corn rassolnik is perfect for a hearty homemade lunch, especially in cool weather when you crave warming and filling food.
