Total Time: 1 hr 50 mins Preparation Time: 20 mins Cook Time: 1 hr 30 mins

Ingredients

• Servings: 12
• 1 lb farmer's sausage (turkey kolbase works well, if you are close to the amish country you can find the farmer sausages)
• 3 lbs potatoes (peeled and diced)
• 1 1/2 cups onions (diced)
• 2 cups beet leaves (cleaned and chopped)
• 1/4 cup sorrel
• 1/4 teaspoon dill or 1/2 tablespoon fresh dill
• 3 cups buttermilk
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 12 cups water

Recipe

• 1 in a large soup pot add onions, potatoes and farmers sausage, cover with water approximately 12 cups. allow to come to a boil. cook over medium heat till sausage begins to split.
• 2 add beet tops, sorrel, dill, salt and pepper. add buttermilk - this will become a little clumpy looking as the beet tops add a level of sourness to the soup that combined with the natural sourness of the buttermilk - will create some cruds. remove the sausage and cut into bite size pieces return to the soup - and serve with cream on the side for those who might like it a little creamier.
