Steps
Prepare the Roux
In a medium pot, heat the sunflower oil over medium heat. Add the all-purpose flour and stir continuously until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat, stir in the sweet paprika powder, then immediately pour in the cold vegetable broth, whisking constantly to prevent lumps.
Simmer the Soup
Return the pot to the stove and bring the soup to a boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally. Let it simmer gently for 5 minutes to cook out the flour taste and allow the soup to thicken.
Add Sour Cream and Eggs
In a small bowl, whisk the sour cream with a ladleful of hot soup until smooth, then pour it back into the pot and mix thoroughly. Next, crack the eggs one by one directly into the soup, or whisk them in a bowl and slowly drizzle into the soup while stirring continuously. Cook for another 3-5 minutes until the eggs are set.
Season and Serve
Season the soup with salt, freshly ground black pepper, and white wine vinegar to taste. Taste and adjust seasonings if necessary. Before serving, sprinkle with fresh, finely chopped parsley.
Extra Tips
► If you prefer a thicker soup, use a little more flour for the roux.
► You can crack the eggs one by one directly into the hot soup for more intact pieces.
► Serve with fresh bread or toast to make it even more filling!
