How to Make Somma Summer Or Krut Weed Borscht

  1. In a large soup pot, combine 8 cups of water and the farmer sausage (or ham hock). Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 1 hour. This creates a flavorful broth.
  2. Remove the sausage (or ham hock) from the pot and let cool slightly. Once cool enough to handle, remove the casing from the sausage and cut into bite-sized pieces. If using a ham hock, shred the meat.
  3. Add the diced potatoes, chopped onion greens, dill, parsley, sorrel, bay leaves, and peppercorns to the broth.
  4. Bring the soup back to a simmer and cook until the potatoes are tender, about 20-25 minutes.
  5. Stir in the prepared sausage (or ham hock) pieces.
  6. Season the borscht with salt to taste.
  7. Heat through and serve hot, topped with a generous spoonful of sour cream.
  8. Enjoy your delicious borscht with a slice of fresh homemade brown bread, if desired.
