There's nothing like bacon, cornichons, pasta, tomato puree, black pitted olives, onions, spices and anything else that will make a tasty soup, turning it into something formidable to eat in the middle of a forest on a chilly day...where's my evening meal? Nice one, Lars. Take care...
Lars, I love bacon that is sold on large uncut pieces like the bacon that you use. Some great energy and protein source to mix into soups and stews in the outdoors, and especially winter outdoors cooking. I do like fish soups also, but I think winter outdoor soups and stews are better with meat! Enjoy your hunting cabin and the tea and food!👍👍👍🍝🍝☕️☕️☕️🍳🍳🍳🍳🍞🍞🍞🍞🍞
I like this video. Making homemade soup when you are out in the bush is nice. Cold weather and soup sort of go together well. Feeds multiple people and very healthy. Thanks buddy
Lars, I think I could watch a 3 min video of you just cutting bacon with that knife. I love all your videos, man. Keep up the great work and stay motivated!
Adding the tomato to the water is to keep it from sticking to the meat and veggies. If you add it before it can end up as a coating on some of the meat and veggies. Adding it after when the water is boiling makes it uniform.
What goes into the spice mix? Paprika? garlic powder? In the States, you're right. When we say "pickles" typically we mean cucumbers pickled in a brine vinegar with spices. Loads of others things are done too. For those we say it is "pickled" so pickled beets, pickled carrots, pickled cauliflower, cooked and pickled sausages, and my favorite pickled eggs. Sweet pickles use sugar to cure and not salt. Then "pickling spices" has many variations to include hot peppers and mustards.
I decided to eat my Dinner BEFORE I watched this, because I knew it would be AWESOME and make me Drool! I was NOT disappointed, and I will be looking forward to making this. FYI: Lars, in America those little cucumbers are called "Gerkins" (don't ask me why) and come either Sweet or Sour. More Cooking Vids, please!
hey lars ! reason for boiling water before adding tomato paste is , other wise itll burn to the pan and it gets bitter in taste !! quick info , and your wife is right !!nice dish thou , might tryt that soon !!!
Lars looks like you cook like me. My motto for cooking is "if it don't have garlic, bacon, & onion it's gotta be dessert"! stay safe keep warm have fun & whittle to keep your sanity ol greybeard dino ; - )>>
Been watching since you started and find all of the information in your videos not just highly instructive and useful but also simply refreshing to see real world bushcraft techniques that have been and are being used by people that live and work in the bush. So fantastic to NOT watch another bushcraft pounding an overbuilt knife through a piece of wood! Keep up the great work as it is very much appreciated. Take care. Mark
You're just having too much fun out there. Long winter, but looks like it will be melting soon. Lots of work on the homestead when the snow is gone I'm sure. Take care out there and so glad to see over 60k subs!!
"Keep your paws and claws off my bacon" I love it Lars. Awesome video.. Food always tastes better in the woods anywhere....keep up the great vids as always. Fred
the soup looks great thanks for sharing with us good to see you out keep up the great videos wish you all the very best until next time my friend take care
I LOVE that cabin. Question though: why don't bears tear it apart? When I was in Alaska, the Brown/Kodiak bears would tear down purpose-built cabins and all the wooden structures they could get their paws on. They were built out of logs and oak planks. We'd build the doors out of two plys of oak, with a field of nails sticking out to prevent the bears from pushing them in. I don't understand how your fabric covered structures survive!
Actually it occurred to me that this would be a great meal for the outdoors person who has been going hard all day. with the carbs and saltyness it would replace that stuff you loss when you sweet alot. i often regret i didnt know about this dish and borsch when I was hunting full time. Getting back to your camp and having a pot of soup ready could be a life saver.
This dish I will make. The nice thing around here is the large number of Eastern European grocery stores to get foods that arn't normally found in American stores.
Awesome video as always Lars! Haha. Yeah, you best not steal a man's bacon! Best use for your Saiga: Anti-bacon theft. Never thought of cheese grating pickles! I'm not sure why we call them pickles here. It causes some confusion, though! I can see why you left the meal preparations for a separate video, lots of steps.
Lars, have you thought about keeping and raising honey bees? I know you have to have them during the summer. Your receipt is almost the same I developed my first year away from home in college. I took that and made it for my wife in the Philippines, she screamed "AWSOME!" With your permission I will put links to your channel on my channel. It is about the adventures of a total "newbie" > me, and my very first colony (nucleus) of bees. Plus a few observations on living simple and prepared here in the swamps of mosquito, alligator, panther, and tourist infested N. central Florida.
I had never heard of "solyanka" before, so I did some very quick on-line research. It's a sour soup that is basically made by heating a LOT of meat (beef, sausage, ham, bacon) in broth, adding a couple of vegetables (onion, carrot, perhaps potato), and pickles and pickle juice or lemon juice. It has MANY variations. It has its own English Wikipedia article (doesn't everything ?) -- en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solyanka
That looks to be pretty tasty" My dad used to make something called Ledna" boiled ham hocks then set out side to gel. a winter dish. heavy garlic. I liked it very much. Croatian recipe.
Looks delicious! You need to do a Survival Russia camp cook book! Been making buckwheat since your video showing how good that can be. Keep up the great videos!
I aways wanted to try Russian food, looks very good. Thanks for the teaching, I will try to do here in Brazil. (btw, I came here by thulean perspective but stayed because of the content, great videos with great knowledge!!!)
Every one of your camp cooking videos always make me hungry no matter if Im full or not! Did you make videos about this specific camp, just wondering. God bless
Hey Lars, I think cолянка does not based on word cоль, but rather because солянка is made from соленья (homemade canned vegitables, mushrooms and such). Not claiming that I 100% right on that, but it seems likely.
Good video ! Would you consider doing one on making pickles, using water, salt, garlic and dill ? (no vinegar) I should have added in season as it`s not harvest time for the cucumbers. TIA
gee thanks Lars ..now I am hungry! looks amazing! restaurants add left over meats?!! umm alittle chicken, a little pork, a little cat, a little dog, a little Andre' ! lol
Really have been enjoying your videos ,looks like you have a great life over there in Russia. Like to say just be your self , who says how why what your videos contain , that's your choice . keep up the gd work ,Treeman….
Try the same recipe, without the standard spices mix, like this: onions, smoked bacon, Bay leaves, cloves, nutmeg, red wine and tomato sauce. Just a bit of salt, black pepper, and pasta. Try this. You can change red wine with vodka or cognac. I hope You enjoy it. Good bye.
This is my wife's favorite Russian soup. I usialy cook it with bell peppers and add a lot if cucumber syrup and olives syrup. And you forgot to mention, Lars.. many Russians.. eats it with mayonnaise XD
With sour cream is more tasty. Most Russian soups like sour cream. Macaroni is very good in the marching version of this soup, but in my opinion, pearl barley is better, it turns out as a rassolnik. Tomato paste better fry until darkening after the onion. So it tastes better.
Yea my wife puts mayonnaise on and in everything, sometimes mayo and sour creme. Sometimes I will cook a lovely venison steak and a nice plum sauce and she skips the sauce and goes straight for the Mayo. Best Foods mayo from canada is the one and only
THANKS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is how all cookery programmes should be presented brilliant
It's funny how for me there is a HUGE difference between my level of what I consider clean enough at home vs out in the wild.
LOL, yes I can agree on that.
This is the best cooking channel on UA-cam!
LOL :) Thank you.

Its great learning a little bit of Russian culture as well as the survival tips. Thanks.
Can't go wrong with black olives and bacon in my book, another great job! Thanks again
Thank you :)
Thanks for the good video. All the best to you and family.
Than you very much. Best regards from all of us :)

Than you for that info Brian.
Token bit of information for a man who's wealth of knowledge exceeds mine :)
Just want to say that knife looks perfect for these cooking tasks......and now, I'm hungry.
What goes into the spice mix? Paprika? garlic powder?

Now i'm hungry...lol. Nice dish Lars. Simple and easy.
I make something similar to that only with sausage. But never thought to add black olives and pickles...will have to try it.
Very tasty looking soup. I will add lemon and maybe some capers when I make it. Thank you Lars for your great camp cooking.
I decided to eat my Dinner BEFORE I watched this, because I knew it would be AWESOME and make me Drool! I was NOT disappointed, and I will be looking forward to making this.

Lars was a chef in another life,if its got bacon,its got to be good
Sour cream is missing. Guys, if you cook this, try adding sour cream. Add it, when soup is ready, right in your plate.
Great video as always, Lars.
I'm a one pan cooker, too. I don't want the meat and onions, etc. in water, so it's set aside after they are cooked up
Working hard at the office, watching your videos. :)
Awesome Mario :)
Lars looks like you cook like me. My motto for cooking is "if it don't have garlic, bacon, & onion it's gotta be dessert"!
stay safe keep warm have fun & whittle to keep your sanity
ol greybeard dino

Outstanding! Looks very good, and I'll bet it's filling too! Have an awesome weekend brother!
Survival Russia cooking show....fantastic....Lars you are very watchable in your videos, a bit like a uncle from a far away country.

Thank You Lars! Always appreciate your videos and love your sense of humor.
You are a pretty good cook Lars!!!
The Bacon-Cabin! You made my day again Lars! ;)
I LOVE that cabin. Question though: why don't bears tear it apart? When I was in Alaska, the Brown/Kodiak bears would tear down purpose-built cabins and all the wooden structures they could get their paws on. They were built out of logs and oak planks. We'd build the doors out of two plys of oak, with a field of nails sticking out to prevent the bears from pushing them in. I don't understand how your fabric covered structures survive!
I love it when you show recipes Russian or not. Still good food. I made that black bread and love it.
So true! "Authentic, semi-dirty woodsman's fingers... but a clean knife!" Haha!
Never thought about using olives and pickles, but it kind of looks good!
It doesn't matter what you eat or what you drink...when you are in the woods it all tastes better.
Awesome video Lars, I love the Bacon rule!!!!!!!!
That was a very interesting recipe Lars! I think I am going to give it a try.
Actually it occurred to me that this would be a great meal for the outdoors person who has been going hard all day. with the carbs and saltyness it would replace that stuff you loss when you sweet alot. i often regret i didnt know about this dish and borsch when I was hunting full time.

Very cool Lars, looks beautiful!
Thank you :)
Lars, I think you may have to create a second channel as a UA-cam chef. Looks tasty.
Greetings from Canada. Like everything you do... that looks awesome !!!
Definitely an inspiration for my next cabin trip with my buddies.
Awesome video as always Lars!
Haha. Yeah, you best not steal a man's bacon!
Best use for your Saiga: Anti-bacon theft.
Never thought of cheese grating pickles!
I'm not sure why we call them pickles here. It causes some confusion, though!
I can see why you left the meal preparations for a separate video, lots of steps.
Wonderful video! I was worried you'd cry cutting the onion but I suspect being outside helps.
Lars, have you thought about keeping and raising honey bees? I know you have to have them during the summer. Your receipt is almost the same I developed my first year away from home in college. I took that and made it for my wife in the Philippines, she screamed "AWSOME!" With your permission I will put links to your channel on my channel.

Looks excellent, and all the better with some woodsman's fingers! :-)
I would have left the pickles out. Everything else looks great. Also, that cabin makes me wish I had land.
I'm hungry now. Thanks for sharing. -Stephen, Ohio U.S.A.
awesome recipe Lars . Think I gonna try making it at home first . cheers

Now that I've seen this I need to try it :). Thanks for sharing Lars
There is a good ring from you pan, looks and sounds like a good quality item.

"Claws and paws" very funny Lars
am off to make it now
Thanks Lars
The bacon cabin. Has ring to it. Love the vid.
Wow, this looks really tasty. And I have never seen such mix. interesting.
🍜 I would eat that! It looks fun & easy to make, which is also important 😏
That looks very good and Tasty.
Every one of your camp cooking videos always make me hungry no matter if Im full or not! Did you make videos about this specific camp, just wondering. God bless
Bon appetit 👍 😊 🌲
Excellent Lars. ☘☘☘
Cooking shows = boring
Lars cooking in the middle of the wilderness with a shotgun = AWESOMENESS
Thank you for the videos.
Hey Lars, I think cолянка does not based on word cоль, but rather because солянка is made from соленья (homemade canned vegitables, mushrooms and such). Not claiming that I 100% right on that, but it seems likely.
That looks great. Your the reason I now have a big bag of buckwheat in the stores. Perhaps show your favorite recipe? Thanks.
i am getting hungry now. thank you for sharing!
Love what you fix they're going to have to try that myself
Love the bacon law!! I have the same in Québec!!
I would never have combined those things, but I bet it tastes great.
Fish soup is the Highest achievement of human civilisation. True story
I will try that dish. never had pickles in a dish like that. I cook outside alot here in arkansas in rhe US
Great video. Thanks for sharing your adventures. ATB
Nice! I could almost taste it from here...
cooking with Lars ... love it.
Pasta was already cooked or you cooked together with everything else? Looks awesome!
great recept Lars,thanks for sharing
When a Danish Russian tells you to stay away from his bacon, you better leave it alone! The AK backup definitely drives home the point.....
Shit Lars ..... this is the second time I've had to get out of my rack and head to the kitchen....I'm starving now!!!!!!!
Like your one rule at the hunting camp, firm but fair 😂
Good video ! Would you consider doing one on making pickles, using water, salt, garlic and dill ? (no vinegar) I should have added in season as it`s not harvest time for the cucumbers. TIA
gee thanks Lars ..now I am hungry! looks amazing! restaurants add left over meats?!! umm alittle chicken, a little pork, a little cat, a little dog, a little Andre' ! lol
switch pasta with Pearl barley (перловка) add more water and you got yourself "rassolnik" as prepared around my area :)
It is fine to see the hunting camp. Looks like a 'hot tent' with better framing. What are the fabric panels made with?
The fabric is a membrane used under railroad tracks. Heavy duty and water resistant.
Really have been enjoying your videos ,looks like you have a great life over there in Russia. Like to say just be your self , who says how why what your videos contain , that's your choice . keep up the gd work ,Treeman….
Try the same recipe, without the standard spices mix, like this: onions, smoked bacon, Bay leaves, cloves, nutmeg, red wine and tomato sauce. Just a bit of salt, black pepper, and pasta. Try this. You can change red wine with vodka or cognac. I hope You enjoy it. Good bye.

Legend says that my favorite dane survivalist will respond to a swedish soldier if he is early... Mycket kärlek kära granne❤️🤘🏻
Selfølgelig vil jeg da det :) Mange tak!
Solyanka-medicine for January 1.)))
This is my wife's favorite Russian soup. I usialy cook it with bell peppers and add a lot if cucumber syrup and olives syrup.
And you forgot to mention, Lars.. many Russians.. eats it with mayonnaise XD
This is a little different from the normal "Solyanka" of course :) To put mayonnaise in soup is just so wrong LOL :)
With sour cream is more tasty. Most Russian soups like sour cream.
Macaroni is very good in the marching version of this soup, but in my opinion, pearl barley is better, it turns out as a rassolnik.
Tomato paste better fry until darkening after the onion. So it tastes better.
Yea my wife puts mayonnaise on and in everything, sometimes mayo and sour creme. Sometimes I will cook a lovely venison steak and a nice plum sauce and she skips the sauce and goes straight for the Mayo. Best Foods mayo from canada is the one and only
Nothing surprising. Russia at the world's first place to eat mayonnaise. Japan on the second :)
Japan?? I know, students eat bread and mayonnaise in Japan as in Russia, but second place for such a small country.. thats a lot of mayonnaise!
we would call that goulash here in the United States, and goulash has many many variations!! ☺☺
Nice Basic soup, always a winner!
It looked great 👍🏻
