Step by Step guide

Step 1

Remove fat and membranes from the kidneys, cut each kidney into 3-4 pieces, rinse, place in a pot, cover with cold water, and bring to a boil. Then drain the water, rinse the kidneys again, cover with cold water, and cook for 1 - 1.5 hours.

Step 2

Chop the cleaned roots and onion into julienne strips and sauté in oil in a soup pot.

Step 3

After that, remove the pot from the heat, add the peeled and sliced pickles and the potatoes cut into sticks, pour in the strained broth, and cook for 25-30 minutes. 5-10 minutes before the end of cooking, add strained cucumber brine, chopped sorrel (or salad), and salt to the soup for spiciness.
