Time 1h5m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 14

9 cups water
3 pounds kielbasa sausage
2 cloves garlic, whole
3 tablespoons butter
2 leeks, chopped
1 white onion, diced
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 bay leaves
1 ½ cups sour cream
¼ cup all-purpose flour, or more as needed
¼ cup chopped fresh dill
2 tablespoons white vinegar, or more to taste
salt and ground black pepper to taste
4 hard-cooked eggs, chopped

Steps:

  • Bring water, kielbasa, and 2 whole cloves garlic to boil in a large pot; reduce heat to medium and simmer for 30 minutes. Remove sausage and pour liquid into a separate bowl. Cut sausage into cubes.
  • Melt butter over medium heat in the pot used to boil sausage; cook and stir leeks, onion, and minced garlic until vegetables are tender, about 5 minutes. Transfer vegetables to a blender; add about 1/2 cup reserved sausage water and blend until smooth, adding more water as needed.
  • Pour vegetable puree and remaining sausage water back into the original pot. Add bay leaves and bring borscht to a simmer over medium heat; remove and discard leaves. Whisk sour cream and flour in a bowl until smooth; gradually whisk into borscht until thickened. Stir dill and vinegar into soup and season with salt and black pepper.
  • Divide cubed sausage and chopped eggs into bowls; ladle borscht over sausage and egg.

This soup is too bland for my taste. I would add more salt and pepper.

I'm not sure about the addition of dill to this soup. I think it would be better without it.
