Time 1h10m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 24

2 ounces dried mushrooms
¾ cup water
½ cup unsalted butter
3 onions, chopped
1 cup cooked diced veal
1 cup diced ham
¼ pound kielbasa sausage, cut into 1 inch pieces
2 quarts beef stock
3 bay leaves
10 black peppercorns
2 dill pickles, diced
2 tablespoons capers
12 marinated mushrooms
1 (28 ounce) can Italian-style whole peeled tomatoes
2 tablespoons tomato paste
1 ½ tablespoons all-purpose flour
12 kalamata olives
⅓ cup chopped fresh dill weed
¼ teaspoon dried marjoram
3 cloves garlic, minced
¼ cup dill pickle juice
1 teaspoon Hungarian sweet paprika
salt to taste
ground black pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Soak mushrooms in 3/4 cup water until tender, 20 to 30 minutes. Set aside.
  • Melt half the butter and saute the onions, meats, and rehydrated mushrooms. Add the stock and liquid from the mushrooms and bring to a boil. Make a bouquet garni by tying the bay leaves and peppercorns tightly in cheesecloth. Lower the heat and add the bouquet garni, pickles, capers, and marinated mushrooms. Simmer 10-15 minutes.
  • Melt remaining butter in a skillet and cook the tomatoes and tomato paste for a few minutes, then add the flour and saute for another few minutes. Add a cup of the soup to the skillet and stir in well, then return pan ingredients to the soup pot.
  • Add the olives, dill, marjoram, garlic, pickle juice, and paprika. Adjust soup's seasoning with salt and pepper; simmer another 10-15 minutes.
  • Remove pot from heat and remove bouquet garni. Adjust seasonings and serve with sour cream and lemon.
