Steps
Steps
- 1Melt the butter in a pot over medium heat and soften the onion, carrot and celery for 8 minutes, stirring, until the onion is translucent.
- 2Take the pot off the heat, stir in the paprika for a few seconds, then pour in the hot water straight away so the paprika doesn't scorch and turn bitter.
- 3Add the potatoes, salt and savory, bring to the boil and simmer 20–25 minutes, until the potatoes are soft and some have started to break up and thicken the soup.
- 4Season with the black pepper, take the pot off the heat and let it stand 2 minutes so it stops bubbling.
- 5Beat the eggs with the yoghurt in a bowl until smooth.
- 6Whisk in a ladle of the hot soup, then a second, to warm the mixture gradually.
- 7Pour it back into the pot in a thin stream, stirring all the time; don't let the soup boil again, or the egg will curdle.
- 8Stir in the parsley and serve hot.
