POTATO SOUP


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
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)

In soup pot, saute celery and onions in oil until limp. Add to soup pot parsley, potatos, pepperoni chunks, pepper corns, Bay leaves and 2 quarts of water. Simmer slowly for at least one hour, until potatos are soft.
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!
Serve soup, eggs and chunks of sausage in each soup plate. Put a heaping tablespoon of sour cream in each plate. Serve with good bread.
