Polish Vegetable Soup

It's time for the Soup Saturday Swappers.......
I am hosting this first Soup Swappers of the year and since it is January and we all are conscious of wanting to take better care of ourselves I asked the others to join me in serving up Vegetable laden soups.

Let's see what they cooked up today......

Polish Vegetable Soup

We had our daughter, Nicole and her husband, Pierre over for dinner and I decided to go Polish.  Well, actually, Frank decided we should go Polish as he had a hankering for my Hungarian Pancake which he considers Polish as I got the recipe from a Polish restaurant.

I was happy to comply because truth be told Hungarian Pancakes are one of my favorites as well.  I decided to start the meal off with Zupa Jarzynwa, a Polish Vegetable Soup.  No, the vegetables are not Polish but the soup is delicious.  The recipe calls for potatoes, celery root, parsnips, carrots and onions.  After that you can add any vegetables that you fancy.  I use it as an opportunity to clean out my fridge of all those little odds and ends of veggies, in this case mushrooms and broccoli.

What makes this different from any other vegetable soup is the addition of sour cream and mustard at the end.  It is scrumptious!!!
