- Preparation: 10 min
- Cooking: 15 min
- Makes: 1 serving (465 g)
- Difficulty: Easy
- Diets: Vegetarian
- Contains: dairy, gluten
Ingredients
- 300 g Water
- 70 g Bryndza (soft sheep's cheese), or feta
- 40 g Onion
- 10 g Butter
- 1 g Sweet paprika
- 0.3 g Caraway seeds
- 0.1 g Black pepper
- 4 g Chives
- 40 g Bread (Slovak wheat-rye), a day old
Method
- Bring the water to the boil with the caraway seeds.
- Mash the bryndza in a bowl with a few spoonfuls of the hot water until smooth and creamy.
- Chop the onion finely and cook it gently in the butter for 4-5 minutes until soft and pale golden. Take the pan off the heat and stir in the paprika.
- Turn the heat down so the water barely simmers; boiling makes the cheese curdle. Whisk in the bryndza, then the onion with its butter, and heat for 2-3 minutes, stirring, without letting it boil.
- Season with pepper; the bryndza brings the salt. Stir in the chopped chives.
- Cut the bread into cubes (toast them in a dry pan if you like), put them in a warm bowl and ladle the soup over them. Serve at once.
