Recipe No. 1: Rhubarb soup with egg and spices


Ingredients:

  • 300 grams of wheat bread;
  • 500 grams of rhubarb stems;
  • 1.5 liters of water;
  • 0.5 grams of cinnamon;
  • 0.5 grams of cloves;
  • 100 grams of sugar;
  • 2 eggs;
  • 200-250 grams of sour cream;
  • 5 grams of vanilla sugar.

Making rhubarb and egg soup:

If you use bread, you need to cut it into small slices and dry it in the oven. But you can always just take wheat crackers. Wash the rhubarb and remove the skin. Although you can leave it - then the soup will acquire a pinkish tint. Please note that it will take you a long time to peel the rhubarb. Therefore, if you don’t want to waste time on this manipulation, nothing bad will happen. Moreover, many scientists talk about the high content of vitamins and minerals in rhubarb peel.

Cut the rhubarb stems into pieces, mix with breadcrumbs and pour boiling water over them. Add cinnamon and cloves, then bring to a boil and cook for 10-15 minutes without a lid. Remember to stir the rhubarb periodically. Cook the mixture until the stems soften. After this, remove the pan from the heat and grind the contents using a blender to a puree-like consistency.

Now you can add sugar, the amount of which can be adjusted at your discretion. It is best for the resulting soup to be sweet and sour. When the sugar dissolves, bring to a boil again. Separate the whites from the yolks. Mix the yolks with sour cream, and beat the whites with vanilla sugar.

As soon as the soup boils, add the yolk with sour cream, stirring constantly. Gradually add whipped whites. By the way, this is very convenient to do using a pastry sleeve. Let the dish simmer a little (1-3 minutes). Then remove it from the stove and let it sit. Before serving, you can add chopped fruit to the bottom of the plate. It's great if it's strawberries. Serve the dish cold. It will be tastier if you put some sweet cookies and crackers on top.

Ingredients:

  • sugar - 2 cups;
  • young rhubarb stems - 800 gr;

How to make rhubarb soup - instructions:

Fill the pan with 2 liters of water and place on the stove, bringing the water to a boil, then add granulated sugar to it, cut the young rhubarb stalks into small pieces and throw them directly into boiling water. Rhubarb must be cooked under supervision, watching carefully, so that the petioles do not become overcooked. Then, after everything is cooked, the rhubarb stalks are taken out of the pan, and a little cloves and cinnamon are added to it.

Then, when 5-8 minutes of boiling have passed, the resulting broth must be strained through a sieve and boiled again. When all this is boiling, you need to put 4 tablespoons of starch into the soup, which was first diluted in cold boiled water. When the dish boils again, add ½ cup of lemon juice.

Features of preparing rhubarb soups

The peculiarity of preparing rhubarb soups is that it is not recommended to subject the chopped stems to prolonged heat treatment. That is, cook for no more than 10 minutes, otherwise the nutritional value of the product is reduced, and most of the nutrients and vitamins are lost. Rhubarb in any form is used for soups, the main thing is that it is clean, chopped and suitable for consumption.

Technology for preparing meat soup with rhubarb

Take about 0.7 kg of absolutely any fresh meat (pork, beef, lamb, turkey), if necessary, defrost and cook on low heat until fully cooked. Since the meat can be any kind, its cooking time will be different for everyone - from 1 to 3 hours. During the cooking process, as usual, descale and salt. After the meat is cooked, it is removed and cut into fibers, after which it is cut into cubes with a side of about 2 cm.

Add the required amount of water to the pan with the remaining broth so that the dish is not thick. Add about 1.5-2 liters of liquid and bring to a boil. Separately, heat olive oil (2 tbsp.), Fry 2 medium onions in it. Onions are cut in different ways - into cubes, strips. After frying, transfer the golden onions to a clean bowl. After the onions, the meat is fried, which by this time should become dry, that is, the remaining broth will have to drain; if there is not enough oil for frying, add a couple more tablespoons. Salt to taste. As soon as a golden crust appears on the meat, it is also taken out of the pan and laid out with the onions.

After the meat, parsley is fried - take a small bunch, about 100 grams and 50 grams of fresh mint. They do not sauté for a long time, just enough for the greens to become soft and “give up” their seductive aroma.

All ingredients are placed in the broth that has boiled by this time, add salt, and add a pinch of black pepper. Add 100 grams of rice, washed and pre-soaked in cold water, to the pan and cook for 20 minutes after boiling. As soon as the rice is ready, taste the dish again “for salt and pepper” and add the necessary ingredients. If you wish, you can add something else to your taste.

Lastly, add 300 grams of rhubarb (any kind you have on hand) and let the soup simmer a little more, but no more than 10 minutes. Rhubarb, if it is fresh, needs to be chopped as finely as possible, it will be tastier and more beautiful. After cooking, the soup is additionally sprinkled with chopped herbs - fresh parsley, mint - literally take one small sprig at a time. Rhubarb soup with meat is served at the table.

This soup will keep for some time in the refrigerator, but can be served warm. The nutritional value of the soup is quite high, it is nourishing, aromatic, tasty, and most importantly – unusual and original!

If rhubarb soup with meat is prepared using chicken or turkey, it can be considered dietary. Children and men will like this soup; it will enrich the body with a large number of mineral components and vitamins. Well, and most importantly, if you use already boiled meat, preparing such a soup will take no more than an hour, which is quite fast and convenient!

Green soup- a soup made from the green leaves of fresh herbs, sorrel or rhubarb. You can also make green soup using spinach. This healthy soup has a specific taste, a little sour, due to the fact that the leaves of the greens used are themselves sour, so do not try to add too much chavel or rhubarb to the green soup. Also, don't overcook the soup as it won't last long. It is better to prepare it fresh, since the cooking time is very fast and there is nothing complicated about it. There is no frying for green soup and all vegetables are simply boiled. If your family is a big fan of sour green soup, good luck... Just freeze it in the summer and you can pamper your family with a tasty and healthy simple soup. You can cook it either with water or using any broth, or even add meat to the soup. I made a soup based on chicken broth, adding boiled poultry to the plate if desired. It turned out very tasty. Both husband and child were very pleased.

My grandmother often prepared this soup for us in childhood, in early spring and summer, when the growth of fresh herbs and, of course, tasty and healthy sorrel or rhubarb was in full swing. I simply adore it and advise all housewives to cook it at least in the warm, hottest time of the year, because you can serve this soup both hot and cold, adding delicious sour cream if desired.

You will need:

  • Rhubarb - 5-10 sheets
  • Potatoes - 2-3 pcs. (large)
  • Onions - 1-2 pcs. (may not be used)
  • Green onions - a bunch
  • Any greens (dill or parsley) - a bunch (I have parsley)
  • Chicken broth - 1.5-2 l.
  • Chicken eggs - 5-6 pcs. (1-2 pieces per serving)
  • Salt - to taste
  • Sour cream - for serving (optional)

How to make delicious and healthy green soup with rhubarb:

To make a delicious green soup, I will use exclusively rhubarb leaves. Young, beautiful, tender and so full of benefits. Cut off the leaves from the stems. We will use the stems to prepare another delicious dish.

We will also use potatoes, onions and green onions, as well as fresh parsley. You can add carrots and any other greens, and use young sorrel instead of rhubarb.

Finely chop the onion and finely chop the potatoes.

I also chop the rhubarb leaves finely.

The broth is already on the stove (ours is chicken), add chopped potatoes, onions and rhubarb into it. Salt the soup to taste. Cook the vegetables until fully cooked. It took me 15-20 minutes.

Add chopped herbs and simmer the soup for another 5-10 minutes.

The soup is ready. And you can add a scrambled egg to the prepared green soup and simply boil it in the soup for 1-2 minutes. But I don’t really like it that way and the resulting dish doesn’t look entirely aesthetically pleasing. I prefer (and this is how my grandmother cooked and how my mother cooks) to simply boil the eggs separately and add them to the soup before serving, simply crumbling it with a knife or cutting it into slices.

This is exactly how I like to serve green egg soup. Children can make soup with finely chopped eggs. I invite everyone to the table, let’s help ourselves, don’t be shy!

Svetlana and my home site wish you all a bon appetit!
