Polish soup, usually cooked for the Wigilia or Christmas Eve dinner, but also appropriate during the colder seasons. St. Hedwig's feast, which marks the harvest of the root vegetables, would be appropriate to have this vegetable soup.

Sprinkle sugar over vegetables. Allow to stand until sugar dissolves. Add to soup. Boil 20-25 minutes. Combine sour cream, flour, lemon juice, marjoram, additional salt if needed. Add to soup. Bring to a boil. Garnish with parsley, chopped eggs. Yield, 6 servings
