INGREDIENTS

  • Base

    • 9 cups water
    • 3 pounds kielbasa sausage
    • 🧄 2 cloves garlic, whole
    • 🧈 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • Vegetables

    • 2 leeks, chopped
    • 🧅 1 medium white onion, diced
    • 🧄 3 cloves garlic, minced
    • 2 large bay leaves
  • Thickening and Flavoring Agents

    • 1 ½ cups sour cream
    • ¼ cup all-purpose flour
    • ¼ cup chopped fresh dill
    • 2 tablespoons distilled white vinegar
    • salt and ground black pepper to taste

STEPS

1

Bring water, kielbasa, and 2 whole cloves garlic in a large pot to a boil over high heat, then reduce heat to medium and simmer for 30 minutes. Remove sausage; pour cooking liquid into a separate bowl. Cut sausage into bite-sized pieces. Discard garlic.

2

Melt butter over medium heat in the same pot. Add leeks, onion, and minced garlic; cook and stir until vegetables are tender, about 5 minutes.

3

Transfer vegetables and about 1/2 cup reserved cooking water to a blender, filling halfway. Cover and hold lid down with a potholder; pulse a few times before leaving on to blend until smooth, adding more water as needed. Pour back into original pot. Repeat with any remaining vegetables.

4

Add remaining cooking water and bay leaves to vegetable purée; bring to a simmer over medium heat. Remove and discard bay leaves.

5

Whisk sour cream and flour together in a bowl until smooth; gradually whisk into soup until thickened. Stir in dill and vinegar, then season with salt and pepper.

6

Divide sausage pieces and chopped eggs among bowls; ladle soup over top.
