Hello Diane,
There is a lot of variety in this dish. I found three different recipes. See below.
Phaed
Czarnina -- Polish Duck Soup
Fowl trimming and blood
1 1/2 lb Spare ribs
1 Stalk celery
2 bn Parsley (small)
1 sm Onion
4 Allspice buds
4 Whole cloves
Salt to taste
3 Whole peppers
10 Dried prunes
Dried apples or pears
15 Cherries or raisins
2 tb Flour
1 c Sweet cream
1 ts Sugar
1/2 c Vinegar
Put vinegar into glass or crockery bowl (not metal)
and into this catch the blood when killing the duck or
goose and stir to avoid coagulation. Fresh pigs blood
may also be used. Cover the fowl trimmings and spare
ribs with water, bring to a boil and skim. Put spices,
celery, onion and parsley into a sack and add to soup.
Cook slowly until meat is almost done, about 2 hours.
Remove spice sack add fruit and cook for 1/2 hour more.
Blend flour with 1/2 cup of the blood mixture, add 3 T
soup stock, and pour into soup, stirring constantly.
Add sugar and cream and bring to a boil. Serve with
egg noodles or potato dumplings.
--------------------------------------------------
Czarnina -- Polish Duck Soup
1 live duck
1/2 cup vinegar
1 stalk celery, chopped
a few sprigs parsley
1 small onion, chopped
bouquet garni of 4 whole allspice, 4 whole cloves, and 4 whole peppercorns,
tied into a piece of cloth
2 cups dried mixed fruit, made up of about 10 dried pitted prunes, 1/2 cup
dried cherries or raisins, and dried apples and/or pears (some people don't
add this dried fruit to the soup, but it is traditional)
2 Tablespoons flour
1/2 cup sour cream
1 teaspoon sugar
salt to taste
Garnish: raw potato dumplings (Make a stiff dough of 2 cups grated (and drained)
raw potatoes, 1 teaspoon salt, 2 beaten eggs, 11/2 cups flour, and 1/2 cup dry bread
crumbs)
Kill the duck; chop off its head. Catch the blood in a glass or pottery bowl.
Stir in the vinegar to keep it from clotting; set aside in fridge to cool.
In the meantime, pluck and dress the duck.
Place the duck carcass, including the neck, heart, liver, and gizzards into a
large stockpot. Cover with water and bring to a boil. Skim the stock, reduce
heat to a simmer. Add the celery, parsley, onion, and the small spice bag to
the stock. Cook slowly until the duck meat is done - about 2 hours. Remove the
spice bag from the soup and discard. Lift the duck carcass from the soup and
pull the meat off the bones; put the meat back into the soup. Add the dried
fruit and cook about another half hour.
Blend the flour into the sour cream, then slowly mix into the blood-vinegar
mixture. Slowly (or it will curdle) add about 1 cup of the hot soup stock to
the blood-vinegar-flour-sour cream mixture, stir well, and add it all to the
stock pot. Add the sugar, add salt to taste, and if necessary add a bit more
vinegar. It should have a slight sweet/sour 'nip' to it.
When ready to serve, drop the still potato dumpling dough by small spoonfuls
into the boiling soup stock or salted water. They are done as soon as they
float to the top.
--------------------------------------------------------------
Polish Duck Soup (Czarnina)
1 whole duck
6 bay leaves
Dash of cinnamon
1 onion
Salt to taste
1 piece celery
1/2 box peppercorns (whole)
6 carrots (cut)
1 tbsp. sweet marjoram

until meat is tender. Mix 4 heaping tablespoon flour into pint sour
cream. Mix well. Add ducks blood to mixture and mix together.
Add hot soup in small amounts making the mixture constantly thinner.
Strain into the rest of the soup stirring constantly. Bring to a boil
and add 2 tablespoon vinegar and 1 tablespoon sugar.

1 1/2 pounds large shrimp, peeled and deveined, shells reserved
3 to 4 sprigs fresh thyme

Hi Melinda,
The only recipe that I can find is the recipe below. It doesn't sound much like your description.
Phaed
Chocolate Monkey Biscuits
4oz Margarine
4oz caster sugar
1 egg
1/2 tsp vanilla essence
10oz plain flour
3oz Plain Chocolate
To decorate
6oz Plain chocolate
1 tsp flavourless oil
4 bars such as Flakes
A large packet of milk chocolate Buttons
Makes about 20
Preheat the oven to Gas Mark 5. Cream the Stork margarine and sugar together
well and then beat in the egg and essence. Add the flour and chocolate, and
bind the biscuit dough together. Knead on a lightly floured surface until
smooth. Roll out, not too thinly and cut out the biscuits, re-rolling the
scraps in between. Place on the lightly floured baking tray and bake for
12-15 minutes, until lightly browned and cooked through. Leave to cool before
removing from the tray.
Melt the chocolate with the oil to make chocolate icing. Carefully dip one
end of each biscuit into the chocolate icing and then fill a piping bag with
the remainder. Sprinkle on crumbs of flakey chocolate for 'hair'. Stick the
buttons on with the icing as ears and pipe faces on the biscuits and leave
to set.
