Solyanka with potatoes and sausage

Cookinero 4 May 2025

Initially, in Rus', solyanka was the name for a hot dish of cabbage with vegetables and meat with the addition of brine or vinegar. Only in 1830 did solyanka as a soup appear in the cookbooks of that time. At that time, solyanka was suggested to be cooked with pickled cucumbers or saffron milk caps. A little later, solyanka acquired the look we are familiar with (with smoked meats and lemon). Solyanka with potatoes and sausage is a rich, filling, aromatic dish that will not leave anyone hungry.
