To prepare a delicious salad soup, start by washing the salad well under a stream of cold water, ensuring that you remove any impurities. Once you have completed this step, place the salad in a pot of boiling water, adding a teaspoon of salt, and let it boil for 2-3 minutes. This process will help soften the leaves and maintain their vibrant green color. After the time is up, drain the salad in a colander and let it cool slightly. Then, chop the salad into smaller pieces and transfer it to a large pot that can hold about 4 liters of water.
Add fresh water to the pot and put in the cleaned onion, which you cut into quarters to release its flavors during boiling. Add salt again, being careful not to overdo it, as you can adjust the taste later. Let everything boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally to prevent the ingredients from sticking to the bottom of the pot.
While the soup begins to boil, take the bacon and cut it into thin slices. In a frying pan, lightly fry the bacon, making sure to score it from time to time to allow the fat to render, thus giving your soup a smoky flavor. In the meantime, clean the garlic and crush it well, preparing it to add its specific aroma to the soup.
When the salad is almost ready, add the bacon slices to the pot, allowing them to combine with the other ingredients to enrich the flavor. Finally, add the crushed garlic, and after removing the onion from the pot, take the pot off the heat. Now it is time to prepare the sour cream mixture. In a bowl, mix the egg yolks with the sour cream until you obtain a homogeneous composition. When the soup has cooled down a bit, slowly pour in the sour cream mixture, stirring constantly to prevent the eggs from curdling.
Adjust the taste of the soup with salt and vinegar, according to your preferences. In a separate saucepan, heat the oil and add the paprika, stirring quickly to prevent burning. Quickly extinguish it with a little soup, then pour the mixture into the large pot, thus bringing a beautiful color and intense aroma.
Serve the soup hot, perhaps alongside a slice of fresh bread, and enjoy a delicious meal! Bon appétit!
