Cooking Recipe Ciorba Teraneasca (Rumanian Cabbage Soup With
Recipe Ingredients
Directions
Your will need a large soup pot. Chop up one slice of bacon, and fry
it in a heavy stewpan until the fat runs. Fry the onions in the fat
until they are golden. Add the peppers and fry them, too. Remove the
stewpan from the heat. Layer the cabbage and the rest of the bacon
into the soup pot. Season between the layers with salt, pepper, and
the herbs.
Pour the water over it all and bring to a boil. Turn the heat down
and simmer the soup for 40 to 50 minutes, until the vegetables are
tender. Remove the soup from the heat.
Beat the egg yolks with the cream and the vinegar in a little bowl.
Stir in a ladleful of the hot soup. Whisk well and pour the mixture
back into the soup to thicken and enrich it.
Serve in deep bowls accompanied with fresh bread. This soup is a meal
in itself, and wants only a piece of cheese and fresh fruit to make it
complete.
Serves 6. Time: 20 minutes plus 50 minutes cooking
