  1. In a large pot or Dutch oven, melt butter and add onion, leek, celeriac, carrot and potatoes. Sauté until onion is translucent, stirring frequently. Add the pickles and their juices, peppercorns, allspice, bay leaf and chopped sorrel, and sauté for 1 or 2 minutes, stirring continuously, until sorrel has collapsed.

  2. Add the beef stock and kidneys, bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer for 20 minutes. Adjust seasonings. Remove bay leaf.

  3. In a small mixing, bowl, beat the egg yolk lightly with a fork. Temper the egg yolk with a few tablespoons of hot soup, stirring constantly. Transfer tempered egg yolk to hot soup, whisking continuously. Simmer a minute or two, but do not let the soup come to a boil. Serve in heated bowls with sour cream and fresh dill, if desired.
