• 500ml rye sour (żur) — or 100g rye flour whisked with 500ml warm water, left covered 4 days
• 1L ham or vegetable stock
• 200g white sausage, sliced
• 2 cloves garlic, crushed
• 1 tsp marjoram
• 100ml cream
• 4 boiled eggs, halved

👩‍🍳 Method

1. The rye sour has to be started days ahead: rye flour, warm water and a crust of rye bread, left loosely covered somewhere warm until it smells sharply sour.
2. Simmer the sausage in the stock 15 min.
3. Stir the sour vigorously (it separates) and pour it in slowly, whisking.
4. Add the garlic and marjoram and simmer 10 min. Do not boil hard after the sour goes in or it can split.
5. Temper the cream with a ladle of hot soup, then stir it back.
6. Half a boiled egg per bowl. Served inside a hollowed bread loaf if you are showing off.
