mrsmev 25 Apr 2007 / #1My mother-in-law had a boyfriend that worked in a nursing home where my mother-in-law volunteers. He used to make a Polish soup for some of the elderly when they were having trouble going to the bathroom that would make things happen. He recently passed away and some of the people have been asking her for the soup and she can't find his recipe. She knows it contains cabbage, kielbasa and sauerkraut. Can anyone help me?
miranda 25 Apr 2007 / #3Drain 1/2 quart sauerkraut, reserving liquid. Rinse in cold water, drain in colander, squeeze out excess moisture, and slice quite fine. If the sauerkraut is very sour, scald with boiling water in pot, bring to a boil, and simmer 5 minutes, then drain.netcooks.com/recipes/Soups/Kapusniak.z.Kiszonej.Kapusty.(Sauerkraut.So up).html
cezarek 26 Apr 2007 / #4Try googling 'kwasnica'. It's similar to Kapusniak, but from the South of Poland. The recipe above is OK, but this mught be closer.
