Soup in bread Polish-style
Description
Perfect for lunch. This is a classic Polish recipe for soup served in bread. I'll focus in detail on preparing the soup starter, as without it the soup won't turn out as special and delicious as the Poles know how to make it. To prepare the starter: add boiling water to rye flour and mix thoroughly to avoid lumps. Then add a piece of rye bread and one peeled garlic clove, cover with a lid, but not tightly. Leave the starter in a warm place for 5 days. Strain the finished starter. Happy cooking! The soup is ready to serve.

The soup is served on the table in a "bread bowl". To make this, cut off the top of the bread and remove the crumb. You can pre-bake it in the oven for 10-15 minutes. Pour the soup into the bread bowl and garnish with eggs, herbs, and sour cream.
