This takes some time, but is well worth the effort. I use a food processor. It is a hearty soup, great on a cold winter night. Serve hot, topped with soured cream.

Julia's pickle soup

Recipe by: yoolka

I know what you think - can't possibly be edible. Believe me - it is beautiful. This is a Polish dish, a soup made of sour cucumbers, or pickles. You can buy a jar of them thinly sliced in Polish shops but if there is none in your area you can just slice pickles. I usually just make the soup from the vegetables and that's it but you can throw a chicken stock cube in as well to make it more tasty if you want.

Kraut Salat

A quick and tasty salad all that is required is a little bit of elbow grease for the preparation. A healthy alternative to coleslaw or a side salad with fish, meat and sauces.
