Recipe Introduction
Polish
List of Ingredients
2 medium size onions preferably baked
1 oz. dried mushrooms
2 carrots
2 stalks celery
1 parsnip
2 med. leeks
1 celery root
3-4 beets
1 small bunch parsley, or parsley and fresh dill combined
1 bay leaf (optional)
6 peppercorns
1 teaspoon salt
3-4 cups water
3 cups pickled beets liquid
1 tablespoon browned flour
1 heaping tablespoon butter
Recipe
Cut up all vegetables except beets and mushrooms, which go in whole. Let simmer with bay leaf and peppercorns in 3 to 4 cups salted water for about an hour. Strain vegetables if desired, or serve in soup. In the latter case, cut mushrooms into strips and slice beets matchstick-thin. Return to pot. Combine stock with pickled beet liquid, and thicken with paste made of flour and butter, stirring constantly to prevent lumps.
