Original Recipe Yield 8 servings

Ingredients

4 large potatoes, peeled and diced
2 bunches green onions, chopped
1 bunch fresh spinach leaves, chopped
1 bunch fresh sorrel, chopped
2 eggs, beaten
salt to taste
1 tablespoon white sugar
1 teaspoon balsamic vinegar
1 cucumber, diced (optional)
2 hard-cooked eggs, diced (optional)
1/4 cup sour cream, for topping (optional)
2 sprigs fresh dill weed, chopped (optional)

Directions

Fill a large pot to about 3/4-full with water; bring to a boil; add the potatoes and cook until fork tender, 8 to 10 minutes; add the green onions and cook another 1 to 2 minutes. Stir in the spinach and sorrel; cook another 2 to 3 minutes; remove from heat. Pour the beaten eggs into the mixture in a slow and steady stream while stirring until the soup thickens. Season with salt, sugar, and vinegar to get a slightly sweet and tangy taste. Allow soup to cool before moving to refrigerator to chill completely. Garnish with any combination of cucumber, egg, sour cream, and dill.
