OGóRKOWA: POLISH DILL PICKLE SOUP ON VEAL

Steps:

• Peel the vegetables, chop roughly into large pieces. If your meat is in one big piece, divide it a bit as well.
• Place all the veggies and the meat in a large cooking pot (I use a 5 qt / 5 litres pot).
• Pour the water in (enough to cover all the ingredients), and bring it to boil. Reduce the heat, add the spices and cook slowly. If scum appears, get rid of it with a slotted spoon.
• Peel the pickles, grate them on a box grater (large holes). If you're using a food processor, make sure the pickles won't turn into 'mush'.
• Melt butter in a small pot, add grated pickles, cover with a lid. Braise them for 8-10 minutes or so, stirring occasionally. make sure they don't stick to the pot.
• Let's check the main pot. When the meat comes off the bone (it can take 1,5 to 2 hours), take the soup off the heat. Gently pour the stock through a sieve into another pot.
• Peel 4 medium potatoes, chop them into cubes and add to the stock. Cook for 20 minutes on medium heat, until potatoes are almost soft.
• Add grated pickles and a few tablespoons of pickle juice. Have a taste - add more juice if you feel that the soup needs it.
• Add selected meat pieces, you can also add sliced carrot and parsley we've cooked.
• Grab a small pot of sour cream, add some hot stock into it. Mix well with a fork, then add some more stock, mix again. Then add that creamy mixture into the soup.
• Add chopped dill and season with salt and pepper. Have a taste and add more seasoning if needed.

ZUPA OGORKOWA - POLISH CUCUMBER SOUP RECIPE RECIPE - (4/5)

Steps:

• Prepare a broth using meat and vegetables. Wash bones and meat thoroughly in hot water and put them into the pot. Add six cups of cold water. Cook it on high heat, covered. Then lower the heat and cook gently for about 1 hour. Of course as usually you can simply use stock cubes making all simpler and faster (but with some loss on a quality of food, as some say). In the meantime wash and peel vegetables and put them into the broth. Boil all together. At the end of cooking add spices: a few peppercorns, bay leaf, black pepper and salt to taste. Melt some butter in a frying pan and fry 1 medium, diced onion. When onion begins to brown add chopped or crushed garlic and fry on a low heat for about 10 minutes. Wash the pickles, peel and grate them on a grater with big holes, so that what you get are stripes that aren't not too small. Add pickles to garlic & onion - fry all together for a few minutes. Then add this mixture to your broth. Now, peel potatoes, cut into small pieces (dices) and throw into the ogorkowa soup. Cook everything on a rather low fire until potatoes are soft and edible. Make a suspension of flour with sour cream to (as they say in Poland) 'whiten' our cucumber soup. To do so simply mix 2 tablespoons of white flour and 100 ml of sour cream. You can also use tart yoghurt. Now slowly pour it into the soup, constantly and vigorously stirring. Mix thoroughly. Cook your soup for a few more minutes, but do not let it boil. Season the ogorkowa soup with salt and black pepper according to your taste. Serve!

PICKLE SOUP (OGóRKOWA ZUPA)

Steps:

• In a large pot, combine 6 cups stock with the carrots, celery root, parsnip and potatoes. The vegetables should be covered with stock, so add more as needed. Bring to a boil over high heat. Cover and reduce the heat to medium-low. Rapidly simmer until all the vegetables are fork tender, about 10 minutes. Reduce heat to low.
• While the vegetables are cooking, coarsely grate the pickles. You should have approximately 1 cup densely packed grated pickles. Melt the butter in a small frying pan over medium heat until it starts to brown. Stir in the garlic and bay leaves and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add the grated pickles and reduce the heat to medium-low. Cover and cook, stirring once, until the pickles become softer, 8 to 12 minutes.
• Add the pickle mixture to the pot with the vegetables, along with 1 cup of the pickle brine. Taste, then season with salt and pepper. The soup should already be salty from the broth, pickles and their brine, so add salt carefully. Add up to 1/2 cup more brine if you want a more sour taste. Remove and discard the bay leaves.
• If using sour cream, temper the cream so it doesn't curdle: In a cup, mix the sour cream with 1 to 2 tablespoons of cold water, stirring well after each addition, then repeat with 1 to 2 tablespoons of the soup. Add the tempered cream to the pot. Bring to a simmer and heat through, about 5 minutes. Taste and adjust seasonings.
• To serve, ladle the soup into bowls. Top with chopped dill and black pepper.
