Rassolnik with millet - FAQ About Ingredients, Baking Time and Storage

Yes, you can use beef, chicken, or turkey as alternatives to pork. Each will give the soup a slightly different flavor but will work well with the other ingredients.
To make it vegetarian, omit the pork and use vegetable broth instead of meat broth. Add mushrooms or beans for extra protein and depth of flavor.
Rassolnik can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3-4 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop before serving.
Yes, Rassolnik freezes well. Let it cool completely, then store in freezer-safe containers for up to 2-3 months. Thaw in the fridge overnight before reheating.
Rassolnik pairs well with crusty bread, sour cream, or a simple side salad. For a heartier meal, serve with boiled potatoes or rice.
Yes, barley is a great substitute for millet and will give the soup a slightly chewier texture. Adjust cooking time as barley may take longer to soften.
If your pickles are very salty, rinse them under cold water before adding to the soup. You can also reduce the amount of salt added to the broth.
Absolutely! Bell peppers, celery, or tomatoes can add extra flavor and nutrients. Just sauté them with the other vegetables before adding to the soup.
If the soup is too thin, let it simmer uncovered for a bit longer to reduce. You can also mash some of the potatoes to naturally thicken the broth.
Millet is a grain and contains carbs, so for a low-carb version, omit the millet and add more low-carb vegetables like zucchini or cauliflower instead.
