👨🍳 Instructions
- 1
In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat the oil or lard over medium heat. Add the smoked meat and cook until lightly browned and some fat has rendered, about 5-7 minutes.
- 2
Add the diced carrots and celery root to the pot. Sauté for another 5 minutes until slightly softened.
- 3
Add the sliced leeks and cook, stirring occasionally, until they are softened and slightly wilted, about 10-15 minutes. Be careful not to brown them too much.
- 4
Pour in the broth and bring to a simmer. Add the diced potatoes.
- 5
Cover the pot and let it simmer gently for about 20-25 minutes, or until the potatoes and leeks are tender.

Season the soup with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. If using very salty smoked meat, you might need less salt.
- 7
Serve hot, garnished with a dollop of sour cream and a sprinkle of fresh dill.
