Food / WHAT DID YOU EAT FOR POLISH EASTER TODAY? [45]

I am new to the forum.
My family has always had Bosh or Barszcz every Easter morning and have been making it myself for 27 years.
With the exception of being deployed in the Navy a few times.
Here is our method:
Put good smoked kielbasa in pot and cover with water.
Boil kielbasa for about 15-20 min.
Remove kielbasa from pot.
Bring back to boil and turn down heat.
Skim off fat on surface.
Add salt to pot by pouring and stiring until you can just start tasting the salt.
Bring back to boil and turn down heat.
Add white vinegar until you start tasting a bit of a sour taste.
It takes time and everyone's taste is different.
Bring back to boil and turn down heat.
Blend water and flour separately and slowly add to pot slowly until it thickens.
You may want to add more salt and vinegar at this time to bring the flavor back.
The best thing about this is you can go back and forth adding ingredents until you aquire the taste you like.
Be careful not to add too much of anything. Add a little at a time.
If you go too much, just add more water, but be careful not to lose the flavor of the water from the kielbasa.
The soup should almost look pasty like a med gravy.
And taste alittle sour from the vinegar with alittle salt but not too much.
Have a large bowl and cube 1/4-1/3 lb kielbasa, 1-2 hard boiled eggs, and cut up a slice or two of rye bread.
Pour the soup over all.
Do not forget the fresh horseradish root!
Wash the root well, and with a sharp knife 90 deg to the root, shave root onto the soup to your liking.
I like alot!
Enjoy!

For dinner it is always Baked Ham, Kielbasa, Scalloped Potatoes, String Bean Cassorole.
I'm getting hungry all ready!
