Follow The Directions

01

Step

In a large pot, combine water, kielbasa, and 2 whole cloves of garlic. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce heat to medium and simmer for 30 minutes. Remove the sausage and set aside. Pour the cooking liquid into a separate bowl. Cut the sausage into bite-sized pieces and discard the garlic. (30 minutes)

02

Step

In the same pot, melt butter over medium heat. Add leeks, onion, and minced garlic; cook and stir until the vegetables are tender, about 5 minutes. (5 minutes)

03

Step

Transfer the vegetables and about 1/2 cup of the reserved cooking water to a blender, filling it halfway. Cover and hold the lid down with a potholder; pulse a few times before blending until smooth, adding more water as needed. Pour the mixture back into the original pot. Repeat with any remaining vegetables.

04

Step

Add the remaining cooking water and bay leaves to the vegetable purée. Bring to a simmer over medium heat. Remove and discard the bay leaves.

05

Step

In a separate bowl, whisk together sour cream and flour until smooth. Gradually whisk the mixture into the soup until thickened. Stir in dill and vinegar, then season with salt and pepper to taste.

06

Step

Divide the sausage pieces and chopped eggs among bowls. Ladle the soup over the top and serve immediately.

For a richer flavor, use homemade chicken or vegetable stock instead of water.
Adjust the amount of vinegar to your liking, depending on the desired level of tanginess.
Garnish with extra fresh dill sprigs for a beautiful presentation.

    The soup was a little too thick for my liking, so I added more water. Next time, I'll use less flour.
