Krumplileves

Ingredients

 * 1 small whole stalk of celery, cut in small pieces, about 2 cups
 * 2 onions, peeled and chopped
 * 2 Tbls. chopped parsley leaves
 * 3 Tbls. oil, (I use corn or peanut oil)
 * 5 medium potatos, peeled and cut in small cubes
 * 1 mild pepperoni sausage cut into 2 inch chunks
 * 1/4 tsp. black pepper corns
 * 4 Bay leaves
 * 2 quarts of water
 * 3 Tbls. of good white vinegar
 * 6 raw eggs
 * 1/2 pint of sour cream
 * 1 tsp. Salt (celery and the vinegar are naturally salty)

Directions

 * 1) In soup pot, saute celery and onions in oil until limp.
 * 2) Add to soup pot parsley, potatos, pepperoni chunks, pepper corns, Bay leaves and 2 quarts of water.
 * 3) Simmer slowly for at least one hour, until potatos are soft.
 * 4) Add the 3 Tbls. of vinegar. Taste and if soup does not have enought salt, add to taste. While soup is simmering, break 6 raw eggs, one egg at a time, into the pot. Space them so they will cook to a firm stage, without touching one another. Do not stir soup!
 * 5) Serve soup, eggs and chunks of sausage in each soup plate. Put a heaping tablespoon of sour cream in each plate.
