			<h1>Polish Pickup Soup</h1>

			<p>Zupa Ogórkowa - a cucumber soup utilizing the leftover brine, potatoes, and cream. Similar soups are found in other western/eastern Slavic and Baltic cooking. I like to add sausage to this one, but I don't believe it is traditional.</p>

			<p>It's very important not to curdle any cream you add to the soup. It needs to be tempered to the soup's temperature before being added. Introduce small portions of the soup to the cream, stiring vigorously, until tempered, and then add all of it back into the main pot of soup.</p>
