Ingredients:
- handful of yellow wax beans cut into 1 inch pieces
- salt pork (1/2 package)
- sour cream - i only use daisy brand - it's the only 1 with only cream as the main ingredient - no mono diglycerides, no carragean, no other crud - it's the best
Directions:
- Put potatoes, carrots and wax beans into a 5 or 6 quart pot and cover with cold water.
- Prepare the beets - cut off the beet greens, wash them and sort, then cut into 1 inch pieces and toss into the pot.
- Peel the beets, wash them and slice into 1/8 inch slices (stopping periodically to admire how beautiful the beets are) then put the beets into the pot
- Rinse your hands :-)
- Bring everything to a boil and cook over medium heat till potatoes are done and beets are tender about 30 minutes
- Turn off the heat and add lemon juice, this turns it a brilliant fuchsia color
- Salt to taste
- Wash the dill and snip it finely with scissors
- Add to soup
- Make pork cracklings by dicing salt pork into 1/4 inch dices and frying on medium heat till they turn crispy and medium brown. It will take a while and can be done while the soup is cooking
- (I won't lie here - the cracklings are an art - as soon as the salt pork turns brown add the onion and cook till glassy - put the onion in too early and it will burn before the cracklings are done, too late and you will burn the cracklings before the onion is glassy)
- Ladle the soup into bowls, add a dollop of sour cream and top with cracklings.
- I stir my sour cream carefully into the soup and watch it turn an incredible pick hue.
- Enjoy!
- And oh...no matter how tempting, don't fish out the cracklings and eat them all at once!
- Stir soup well and turn your eyes toward heaven when your mouth encounters one...
