This originated from an old McCalls magazine years ago. Some adaptations have been made over time by my mother, Val Simpson.
Makes a wonderful meal for the whole family on a cold winter's night. The kids will love it as much as you!
Toronto-based Chef Michael Angeloni, proudly shares his family recipe for White Borscht. A delicious Polish traditional Easter soup that connects him to his roots.
"Culturally, White Borscht is a soup served on Easter Sunday in Poland. In traditional facets, people used blessed ingredients that they would get blessed on Saturday in church to then use for this beautiful soup on Sunday. Currently, my mother still gets the eggs blessed that she uses. This soup was always my favourite holiday meal growing up and one that I always looked forward to eating." I also loved having red borscht on Christmas Eve, but the white borscht is my favourite!" ─ Chef Michael Angeloni.
Sauerkraut and white wine give this meal a slow-simmered taste without taking several hours to cook. If you don't have kielbasa on hand, mild Italian sausage makes a delicious substitute.
Bacon and smoked paprika add their subtle smokiness to this simple but satisfying chowder.
