| 1. Cut away as much fat and tough-looking parts from the meat as you can. | 2. Optionally, quickly brown the meat. You can add a piece or two of onion, while browning, to improve the flavor. | 3. Add the water and bring to the boil. Skim foam. Lower the heat, add the bay leaves, and simmer for 2-3 hours (or until the meat is tender when pierced). | 4. While the meat is cooking, heat the oil in a skillet. Add the onions and cook until golden and just beginning to turn brown. | 5. Add the flour to the onions and cook, stirring, until the onions are coated, and the flour is beginning to brown. Take off the heat. | 6. When the meat is done, take it out, cut it into bite-size pieces, and put back into the soup. | 7. Add the frozen spinach to the soup and raise heat to high. Heat to boiling, while breaking up the spinach. Lower the heat to a simmer and cook until the spinach is separated, 3-5 minutes. | 8. Add lemon juice and salt to taste. The soup should be slightly sour. | 9. Add the fried onions to the soup. Cook 1 minute. | 10. Pour the soup into bowls. Put into every bowl some chopped scallions (and some chopped parsley, if using) and half a boiled egg. | 11. Some people like to add sour cream or plain yogurt. | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
