1. Sour rye soup with egg and sausage
First, preferably the day before, let's boil the vegetable broth. We prepare it from a few vegetables, without the addition of herbs. Grate: a piece of celery tuber, parsley root, peeled carrot. Add the leek, pour 1.5 liters of water and simmer for an hour, then strain. The basis of a good sour rye soup is rye leaven. Prepare the leaven * with lots of garlic.
* Sourdough recipe: pour 1 cup of flour into a liter jar and gradually pour 3 cups of lukewarm water, stirring quickly with a wooden spoon so that it does not form lumps. We throw the crushed garlic (3 cloves) into the jar. Plus allspice, bay leaves, and peppercorns. We mix. Cover the jar with gauze and put it in a warm place for about 5 days. Stir the leaven with a wooden spoon at least once a day.
Now let's get down to the sour rye soup: prepare yourself raw smoked bacon, dry and white sausage. Dice the bacon into small cubes. Slice the sausages. Fry the bacon for a few minutes in the pan. Also, add both sausages and fry for 4-5 minutes. At the same time, pour the vegetable stock into a medium pot. Set the burner to medium power and heat to boiling.

Bring the soup to a boil, stirring constantly. The sour rye soup will slowly start to thicken. A few minutes of cooking is enough. Finally, add 3 tablespoons of sweet cream 30% as well.
