Instructions
- Before you start cooking: Peel and finely chop 1 medium onion, then peel and dice 4 medium potatoes.
- In a heavy-bottomed pot, heat 1 Tablespoon sunflower oil over medium heat. Add the onions and cook, stirring until translucent.
- Add 2 teaspoons ground caraway seeds and stir for about 1 minute until the caraway aroma develops. Add 2 Tablespoons all-purpose flour and stir for 1 minute.
- Remove the pot from the heat, then add one cup of lukewarm broth. Stir carefully with a whisk to prevent lumps. Add another cup of broth and whisk again. Now, add the rest of the broth, season with salt and ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper, and stir well.
- Return the pot to the stove and add the diced potatoes. Increase the heat and bring the soup to a boil.
- Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot with a lid, and let the soup simmer for 15 minutes, or until the potatoes are soft. Stir occasionally to prevent the flour from settling at the bottom and burning.
- Finally, remove the pot from the stove, crack 1 egg into the soup, and whisk it in. Do not cook the soup any further.
- Salt to taste if necessary, stir well, and serve, sprinkling each bowl of soup with chopped parsley greens.
Notes
- SERVING:
- The basic recipe makes 4 yields.
- SERVING: Serve warm, garnishing each bowl with chopped parsley greens. A slice of fresh rye bread or a sprinkling of croutons makes a perfect accompaniment to this caraway soup.
- Store the soup in the fridge, where it will keep for 3-4 days.
