I was in warsaw in the summer and ate this amazingly tasty soup called Zurek (had sausage and egg in it), but I have found a couple of recipes online but they don't seem very good, and I don't know which to pick either way, so I hope some one here might be able to give me the real original Polish recipe so I can indulge in it's flavour, I will be truely gratefull!!!!!!.Anyone has a good recipe of Zurek (polish soup)?
I'm Polish but I can't cook,my mom does.Well 偶urek or simply 偶ur (sour rye meal mash) can be done as the following





呕ur with bacon or sausage


0.25kg mixed vegetables, 0.15-0.20 kg bacon or sausage, 1 1/2 l water, 1/4-1/2 l 偶ur, 0.80kg potatoes, 20-30g flour


Boil the vegetables and bacon to make stock. Drain it, add 偶ur, mix in flour, bring the mixture to the boil and add salt. Put in diced bacon and crushed garlic. Serve with potatoes with bacon on top. 呕ur is a ferment of rye flour in water.





Fermenting the 偶ur: 0.10kg rye flour, 1/2l warm boiled water, a slice of stale rye bread


Mix flour with water, pour the mixture into a glass jar or stone pot and put away in a warm place for a few days.
