Rinse the barley and soak it in hot water for 10 minutes.
Cook the onion over medium heat for 4 minutes so the rassolnik base does not stay raw.
Add the barley and water, then boil for 20 minutes.
Add the chopped pickles and cook for 8 minutes.
Add the pickle brine in the last 2 minutes so the sourness does not become too sharp.
Serve hot.
💡 Tip: Adding the pickles near the end keeps the flavor lively.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve the soup hot, topped with dill and a spoonful of sour cream.
