One of my favourite taste od Spring and Summer is New Beetroot. Not the big ones, but this little, the ones that are sold together with leaves. This leaves are the best what this beetroot has!
Here is very Polish and very different soup, that you have ever tried. Its worth to be adventures with this, just because it is delicious.
Ingredients:
2liters of home made chicken/ vegetable stock
2 big bunches of New Beetroots, together with its leaves!!
1 lemon
Big bunch of fresh dill
New potatoes
One hard boiled egg per person
Large onion
Smoked bacon
Single cream
How To Make:
Boil the stock.
Peel beetroots*, wash and dice them into small cubes. Wash properly leaves and chop not to thinly.
Add beetroots to boiling stock, turn heat down and bring back to boil, but on low heat. When this will be boiling again add the leaves and juice from whole lemon. Simmer on very low heat until beetroot is nicely cooked. Season, add small cream and freshly chopped dill.
Separately cook new potatoes. Fry sliced into small chunks bacon and chopped onion.
Serving:
Into large serving bowl add potatoes together with fried bacon and onion. Pour over soup. slice egg into quarters and place on the top.
*Hint: when handling any part of beetroots use kitchen gloves, and slice everything on the plate rather than chopping board, as the juices are very hard to wash off.
