Ingredients

  • 1 lemon, peeled, sliced thin (take out seeds)
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 3 cups rice, cooked

How To Make zupa crtrynowa (lemon soup), mark's

  • Step 1
    Bring the broth to a boil. Mix the flour with the butter. Add a few spoons of hot broth, mixing thoroughly. Add back to the broth, and bring to a boil Remove from heat. Add lemon, juice, rice and sour cream.
  • Step 2
    Notes: The original recipe calls for rice, but the truth of it is that I remember this being served clear as often as not. If served as a broth, sprinkle with a little white pepper and dill for flavor. As a broth, it's good for cold raw days and cold, raw throats. The original portions always struck me as ambitious in the extreme. Halving it gives you three or four truly hearty bowls.
