Prune Soup (Mock Chzanena)


3 Turkey legs, or 1 small Turkey breast, or 1 pound cut-up pork
1 large onion(chopped)
3-4 Whole Bay Leaf
4-5 quarts water or soup stock
1 box pitted Prunes
1 cup raisins (optional)
1/2 - 3/4 cup vinegar
1/4 cup sugar
salt and pepper
Place meat (de-boned ), onion, bay leaves and water in soup pot and bring to a boil. Skim foam from top of soup. Add prunes and raisins. Turn heat to low and simmer until meat is tender. Add vinegar and sugar. Simmer a few minutes more. Remove and discard the bay leaves before serving.
Can be served with boiled potatoes or noodles. Place a few small pieces of boiled potato or noodles in soup bowl and cover with the soup. We use potatoes. The flavor is better the next day. A great soup when you are feeling out-of-sorts!
