1 Step 1: In a large pot over medium heat, add the olive oil, then the onion, leeks, parsnip, and celery. Season with salt and pepper. Sauté until the vegetables begin to soften and become slightly translucent, about 5-6 minutes.2 Step 2: Add the garlic to the pot and sauté for an additional 2-3 minutes, or until very fragrant.3 Step 3: Add the potatoes, whole kielbasa/sausage, and bay leaves to the pot, then pour in the stock. Bring to a boil, then lower the heat and simmer for 25 minutes.4 Step 4: Remove the kielbasa/sausage and reserve. Add the cubed sourdough bread and sliced cabbage to the pot, and simmer for an additional 20-30 minutes, or until the potatoes and cabbage are very tender.5 Step 5: Turn off the heat and puree the soup using an immersion blender. Alternatively, use a blender or food processor and blend in batches; avoid filling the blender/food processor more than ¾ full.6 Step 6: Add the juice of half a lemon to the pot, taste and adjust seasoning with more salt, pepper, or additional lemon juice as desired.7 Step 7: Slice the reserved kielbasa and add it back to the pot.8 Step 8: To serve, generously garnish each bowl with freshly chopped dill and parsley, and a drizzle of olive oil. If desired, serve topped with sliced hard-boiled egg.getsaucepan.com/r/aebdf08c-ac54-46df-b2b6-a02181bb8691 · Original: https://www.myjewishlearning.com/the-nosher/this-polish-white-borscht-recipe-reminds-me-of-home/
