Whisk the prepared rye sour starter with 1 cup cold water until smooth.
Boil the garlic, bay leaf, marjoram, and 4 cups water for 10 minutes.
Slowly add the rye sour mixture to the pot and cook over low heat for 12 minutes.
Warm the yogurt with hot soup, then add it to the pot so it does not curdle in the acidic base.
Serve hot with egg slices and dill.
💡 Tip: Adding the sour rye starter near the end of boiling preserves its bright tang.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve in hot bowls with fresh parsley and a drop of lemon juice on top.
