Questions regarding the recipes

Installment 6 of 42 gives a recipe for Sour Sumava Soup with partial method explanation. I'd really love to have the entire method, using ALL the ingredients. Flour, butter, eggs, cream? Anyone have any ideas?

  • Hi, LadyBright. :) Hope you're enjoying the book! Thanks for pointing out that this recipe was missing a few steps; they have been included below.

    Best wishes,

    Polévka Šumavské kyselo
    Serves 4

    4 cups water
    2-3 tbsp. vinegar
    small pinch of salt
    4 small potatoes
    handful of dried mushrooms
    caraway
    1 tbsp. butter
    1 tbsp. flour
    ½ cup heavy cream
    salt
    pinch of sugar
    4 hard-boiled eggs, sliced

    To a small stockpot, add the water, vinegar, salt and bring to a boil.

    Add crushed handful of mushrooms, peeled and chopped potatoes, caraway, and simmer until everything is tender.

    In a saucepan, over low heat, make a light roux from the butter and flour. Slowly pour in the cream, and add the salt and sugar. Simmer on low just until combined.

    Add the cream sauce to the mushroom broth, and whisk together to combine. Ladle the soup into bowls, and top with slices of hard-boiled egg.
