Yield 6 people

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 handful dried mushrooms
1 piece onion peeled
2 pieces bay leaves
5 pieces black peppercorns
5 pieces allspice
1/4 teaspoon cumin
2 twigs lovage
salt
4 tablespoons flour
500 ml sour cream
4 pieces potatoes bigger, peeled, cut into small cubes
2 tablespoons vinegar
4-6 eggs
1 bundle dill small bundle

Steps:

  • I start with dried mushrooms. A mixture of forest mushrooms provides the best and very intensive taste. I put them into a saucepan with water, bring them to boil and cook them for 5 minutes until they are soft. I check the mushrooms if they are soft enough. When done, I take out the mushrooms and rinse them well with cold water. I don’t use the mushroom broth in this case as I want the soup to be really white. Now I put mushrooms, halved onion, bay leaves, black pepper, allspice, cumin, lovage, salt and 2 litres of water into a pot. I bring it to a boil and cook it for 15 minutes. In the meanwhile I mix flour, sour cream and a little bit of cold water and I pour this mixture through sieve into the soup. I have to whisk it and bring to a boil again. Then I add potatoes and cook them for another 10 minutes untill they are soft. I flavor the soup with vinegar, salt and I add also eggs. Sometimes I cook eggs like poached eggs (Crack the egg into a cup and then gently slide it into the soup.) and another time I just pour beaten eggs into the soup and mix them with fork. I put dill into the soup just before serving so the taste is really strong. Ready to serve.

I like to make a big batch of kulajda and freeze it for later. It's a great way to have a delicious meal on hand when I'm short on time.

This soup is perfect for dipping bread in. I especially love using a crusty baguette.

I always serve kulajda with a dollop of sour cream. It adds a creamy richness that takes the soup to the next level.

The dill in this soup is a must! It adds a bright, fresh flavor that really makes the soup pop.

The potatoes in this soup were cooked perfectly. They were soft and creamy, but not mushy.

I used a variety of mushrooms in my soup, including shiitake, oyster, and cremini. The different textures and flavors were amazing.

I made this soup with low-fat milk and vegetable broth to make it a bit healthier. It was still creamy and flavorful, and my family loved it.

I added a bit of cayenne pepper to give the soup a little kick. It was a great addition and really brought out the flavors of the other ingredients.
