WHITE BORSCHT SOUP

A different soup. From Eastern Europe. From Poland. People there love soups. Let’s try it.

Ingredients:

2 potatoes
1 egg
1 clove or garlic
1 Kielbasa sausage, sliced
8 oz prepared White Borscht
1 teaspoon oregano
½ teaspoon dill
Some salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
Some vinegar or sour cream (optional)
Some bread

First prepare the potatoes. Peel them and cut them in pieces. Make the pieces not too big. Then, in a pan, boil the potatoes, the egg and the sausage. Remove the sausage from the water first. Remove the egg a bit later and let the potatoes cook a bit more till they are perfectly boiled. Reserve the egg, the sausage and the potatoes.
Spoon the foam and froth from the pan. Then add the prepared White Borscht. Mix well. Add the garlic, chopped. Bring to a boil. When it starts boiling, lower the fire and let it simmer, the pan partially covered. Simmer for five minutes. Then add the sausage, the potatoes and the spices. Taste it and if you feel that it needs to be a bit sourer, add a bit of vinegar or sour cream. But do not add too much at the beginning. You can always add more after having tasted it again.
Before serving, prepare the egg and the bread. Slice the boiled egg and cut the bread in pieces. Then, put pieces of bread in the bowls where you will be serving the soup. Do the same with the slices of egg. Then serve some of the soup in each bow. Add some extra dill on top.
A delicious Borscht. A delicious soup. Good. Enjoy!
