Ingredients
-
9 cups water
-
3 pounds kielbasa sausage
-
2 cloves garlic, whole
-
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
-
2 leeks, chopped
-
1 medium white onion, diced
-
3 cloves garlic, minced
-
2 large bay leaves
-
1 ½ cups sour cream
-
¼ cup all-purpose flour, or more as needed
-
¼ cup chopped fresh dill
-
2 tablespoons distilled white vinegar, or more to taste
-
salt and ground black pepper to taste
-
4 large hard-cooked eggs, chopped
Directions
-
Bring water, kielbasa, and 2 whole cloves garlic in a large pot to a boil over high heat, then reduce heat to medium and simmer for 30 minutes. Remove sausage; pour cooking liquid into a separate bowl. Cut sausage into bite-sized pieces. Discard garlic.
-
Melt butter over medium heat in the same pot. Add leeks, onion, and minced garlic; cook and stir until vegetables tender, about 5 minutes.
-
Transfer vegetables and about 1/2 cup reserved cooking water to a blender, filling halfway. Cover and hold lid down with a potholder; pulse a few times before leaving on to blend until smooth, adding more water as needed. Pour back into original pot. Repeat with any remaining vegetables.
-
Add remaining cooking water and bay leaves to vegetable purée; bring to a simmer over medium heat. Remove and discard bay leaves.
-
Whisk sour cream and flour together in a bowl until smooth; gradually whisk into soup until thickened. Stir in dill and vinegar, then season with salt and pepper.
-
Divide sausage pieces and chopped eggs among bowls; ladle soup over top.
Tips
Fermented rye flour can be used instead of vinegar. You can find it in European delis.
