Recipe View 0 mins Remove from heat and ladle into bowls. Garnish with sour cream, green onions, and cayenne pepper.

For a vegetarian option, substitute the sausage with smoked paprika and sautéed mushrooms for an earthy depth.
Adjust the amount of paprika based on your spice preference. Sweet paprika will provide a milder flavor, while hot paprika will add a fiery kick.
Serve with a dollop of crème fraîche instead of sour cream for a richer, tangier flavor.
For a thicker soup, mash some of the potatoes before adding the sausage and vinegar.
