A soup to remember .... but I forgot !!

I found this site looking for a soup recipe ...... First things first I would like to say HI! and maybe all of you can help to bring back a childhood dish.

Here is what I remember .. a clean/golden broth, vinegar and sour cream, meatballs and maybe potatoes.

After a hard day of sledding and playing in the snow, I would come home for dinner to the house being filled with the aroma of vinegar and sour cream. There was no doubt what was on the stove.

Once at the table and the first bowl was in front of you, the smell on the hot vinegar and sour cream would open you nostrils for days. As I would bring the first spoon to my mouth beads of sweat would break out on my forehead ...... mom would say, it was something that would stick to your ribs (or melt them, I thought). I remember that if I went out the play in the evening I had this warm and fuzzy feeling for the whole evening.

Ah yes, those where the days ........

My mother would make what she call "depression dishes". Meals which could be made for little money and few ingredients.
Both of my parents where raised in the coal mine areas of Pa. Scranton, Troupe.

If memory serves me correctly mom called it "Klopski Soup"

All help would be appreciated.

żurek, look for the recipe in the food section.

or white borsht.

search "vinegar" around here as i am thinking thiere may have been another soup with that that was similar to zurek but not the same.

It sounds like Klopsy gotowane (Boiled meatballs). The receipt (in polish)you can find here: poszukiwaczesmaku.pl/index.php?id0=kociewie_przepisy&did=klopsy_gotowane

OK Thanks for the help .......... we folks have pointed me in the right direction.

What I was looking for is Klopsy Gotowane ..... now I need to learn to read Polish.
This is a great site for memories and hungrier pains, making my mouth water.
Again thanks
