I was waiting for someone to ask this -- guess it will be me: the horseradish doesn't make the soup spicy hot? I love the flavor of horseradish, so would probably like this, but am having a little trouble envisioning it.
Do the 2 liters of water reduce considerably while simmering for an hour? Is the ham or bacon then discarded? Once the soup is strained, does it have a cream-like texture?

It's not real,real hot.(You of all people,I have a hard time explaining what's too hot and what's not).The texture is not too creamy,you can adjust that accordingly,it's more of a cream broth. And yes,you do discard the bacon or ham.

... And yes,you do discard the bacon or ham. Why? Does it get put to use later (I hope)? |

It's meant to flavor primarily.The bacon we used was the thick slabbed fatty kind so after cooking especially to a boil it's not real flavorful anymore. The kielbasa sausage provides a good additional meat flavor and texture.

I think that Baz should run it by Polish Maria for testing.

That would be a wonderful reason for him to invite her again.

Who is Polish Maria? Or do I really want to know?

Another in-joke from ttr dragged over here to be given cpr.  I'm sure these inside references make people who don't get them feel all welcome and included. |

Baz (wherever he is) might give the background of that reference.
I don't know about the rest of you, but I'm on so many forums that it's difficult to separate what was said when by who; or even by me.

Basically, Baz had a houseguest from Poland last year (two actually), who found fault with everything he put on the table, in extremely non diplomatic terms. I don't think he even could have served her a glass of water that would have met with her approval.
