Littlemafia's Romanian Meatballs Soup image

I'm opening a series of Romanian soups,especially sour soups called Chiorba or Borsh.Very popular here, some people eat them everyday. This one is called Chiorba de perisoare. I mentioned that it's optional the sour cream & egg yolks step. It makes the soup richer, even if you skip it the taste is still good.

LITTLEMAFIA'S ROMANIAN BEEF SOUR SOUP



Littlemafia's Romanian Beef Sour Soup image

Lovage is the secret to a good Romanian sour soup. Celery leaves are an OK substitution but it's not exactly the same thing. I grow my own lovage leaves in a flower pot. If sauerkraut juice is not available season the soup with lemon juice and make up the amount with water. Traditionally, borsh is added to make the soup sour,which is fermented wheat bran. Cooking time depends on how quick the meat is boiling.
