Ingredients
- 1 cup Rye flour
- 1 lb White sausage
- 1/4 lb Bacon
- 1 Onion
- 4 cloves Garlic
- 4 Eggs
- 1/2 cup Sour cream
- 1 tbsp Marjoram
Steps
- Ferment the zakwas first: mix rye flour with warm water and rest 4 days until pleasantly sour — or use a good store-bought starter.
- Simmer the sausage and bacon with onion 25 minutes into a smoky broth; lift out and slice the meats.
- Whisk in the zakwas and simmer 10 minutes; the soup should taste distinctly, mouthwateringly sour.
- Stir in the sour cream off the boil for a silky, rounded tang.
- Season with crushed garlic, marjoram, salt, and black pepper.
- Serve in bowls — or bread bowls — with halved eggs and the sliced sausage.
