Korhelyleves – Hungarian “drunkard” soup
Why “drunkard” soup? Well, legend has it that it’s good for fighting hangovers. It has a bit of everything you crave when you wake up with (or are going to be expecting) a hangover: protein, starch, a bit of fat, sour. Warm goodness to settle your stomach after a night of partying.
Even without the party it’s damn good!

Recipe Language : English
Ingredients:
10 oz ham shank (I use ham steak since it’s easy to get)
2 tbsp butter
1 large onion, chopped
2 tsp. sweet paprika
Water
2 c. sauerkraut (drained, liquid reserved)
6 c. chicken or beef stock
6 potatoes, peeled abd cut into pieces (use a waxy potato, not a baking potato)
1 bay leaf
Pepper to taste
Sour cream
5 oz. dried sausage, diced
Cover and boil the ham (enough water to cover the ham) for 1/2 hour. Reserve 1 cup of the liquid. When cool cut into pieces.
Melt the butter and saute the onion until golden. Take the pan off the head and add the paprika and stir. Add the sauerkraut and a bit of water to loosen the mixture. Put back on the heat and add the sauerkraut juice, stock and reserved ham stock. Bring to a boil. Add the potatoes, bay leaf, pepper and ham. Reduce heat and simmer for 15-20 minutes until the potatoes are tender.
When ready to serve stir in the sausage and sour cream.
