Anyone has a good recipe of Zurek (polish soup)?

Question

I was in warsaw in the summer and ate this amazingly tasty soup called Zurek (had sausage and egg in it), but I have found a couple of recipes online but they don't seem very good, and I don't know which to pick either way, so I hope some one here might be able to give me the real original Polish recipe so I can indulge in it's flavour, I will be truely gratefull!!!!!!.

Answer 1

I'm Polish but I can't cook,my mom does.Well żurek or simply żur (sour rye meal mash) can be done as the following

Żur with bacon or sausage
0.25kg mixed vegetables, 0.15-0.20 kg bacon or sausage, 1 1/2 l water, 1/4-1/2 l żur, 0.80kg potatoes, 20-30g flour
Boil the vegetables and bacon to make stock. Drain it, add żur, mix in flour, bring the mixture to the boil and add salt. Put in diced bacon and crushed garlic. Serve with potatoes with bacon on top. Żur is a ferment of rye flour in water.

Fermenting the żur: 0.10kg rye flour, 1/2l warm boiled water, a slice of stale rye bread
Mix flour with water, pour the mixture into a glass jar or stone pot and put away in a warm place for a few days.
