Jewish Penicillin (Judy's Chicken with Matzoh)

This recipe was given to my MIL by her Great Grandmother, who immigrated from Poland. I swear this soup has magical powers, as it has nursed my husband to health from countless colds, flus, and even a total hip replacement!! This also freezes very well, so make in advance of flu season! -- posted by s'kat

Chilled Cream of Beet Soup

Fri, 16 Aug 2002 17:52:00 -0400

Krupnik (Polish Mushroom Barley Soup)

Sat, 28 Dec 2002 20:03:23 -0500

This is my M-I-l's recipe for Mushroom Barley soup, which is made with dried "cepe" (aka porcini) mushrooms. Other dried mushrooms may be substituted....of course that will change the flavor of the soup. Making it with chicken stock or with a meat bone (instead of water), will give it a richer flavor. -- posted by Dee514

Easter Soup

Thu, 03 Apr 2003 20:02:02 -0500

Part of our Polish Easter tradition. The slightly sour soup broth is made from the kielbasa cooking water and is served with sliced sausage and the hard boiled Easter eggs. The original version uses kvass made by soaking oatmeal and rye bread in water, instead of the vinegar. We pass around horseradish, rye bread, kielbasa and eggs and everyone adds what they want to their dish of broth. You will either love it or hate it. Prep time does not include refrigeration. -- posted by Lorac

Polish Wild Mushroom Soup

Mon, 14 Apr 2003 20:31:22 -0400

My favorite dinner party soup! Cooking the dried mushrooms for 4 hours produces an intense flavor that cannot be achieved with fresh mushrooms. The onions and butter (don't skimp) transform the broth into a rich, enchanting and elegant first course soup. Don't be concerned with the cooking time, this is a simple and very easy to make soup. Prep time does not include soaking overnight. -- posted by Lorac

Polish Dill Pickle Soup

Mon, 30 Jun 2003 20:06:38 -0400

Polish peasants lived off the land and were very inventive in using whatever was available. If my grandmother made this she would have used heavy cream instead of the milk and flour. This recipe is posted by request from "The Art of Polish Cooking" -- posted by Lorac

This recipe has been in my family for many years. It was passed down from my Great-grandmother who emigrated directly to the US from Poland in 1907, to my grandmother, to my mother (the irishman in the family) and now to me. It is one of our 7 dishes at our triditional christmas eve dinner. It takes every pot in the house to make but it's worth it. -- posted by Babybuttons

My Polish(Easter) Kielbasa Soup

Wed, 12 Apr 2006 20:31:10 -0400

This is the soup we referred to as borscht. It wasn't until I was full grown that I found out it isn't referred to as borscht by anybody else! LOL This, like all other soups, tastes better reheated. When storing this soup, keep broth and potatoes in one container, kielbasa in another, and hardboiled eggs separately from both. I couldn't put number of servings because it depends on your appetite! P.S. I finally found 2 others, here on Zaar, who also refers to this as borscht! Yeah! -- posted by Nana Lee

Easter Egg Soup

Fri, 14 Apr 2006 11:56:54 -0400

In Northern Indiana where I was brought up there was a little Polish lady that made this soup one time after Easter. I don't know what the real name is...something I couldn't say even if I could remember I would guess. Needless to say, it's been on my mind to find the recipe and see if the recipe lives up to the memory. There are a couple similar recipes posted, but not quite like the one I found written down in chicken scratch. I haven't tried to make this one yet, but when I do I'm hoping it's as good as my memory of that one bowl of soup a looong time ago. The recipe I have doesn't include serving amount so I'm guessing to get this on 'zaar! -- posted by Tish

Hot or Cold Sorrel Soup

Thu, 01 Jun 2006 20:57:46 -0400

The tangy tartness of sorrel is nicely balanced with the cream to make a refreshing soup served cold for those hot days of summer but just as good served hot. Great to put into a thermos for a summer picnic. -- posted by ~Rita~

Spoil the Son-In-Law Borshch

Mon, 18 Sep 2006 23:15:14 -0400

My mom is an old time Galicianer, from eastern Poland, who specializes in "heimish" food. My husband is from nearby Ukraine, and when we come to visit, my mother delights in spoiling him with the food he so misses and loves. This borshch is one of those classics. A warming soup, a hearty meal, a pot of love. It tastes even better the second day. -- posted by Sarah Chana

Grandma Star's Pot Pie (Chicken & Dumplings)

Mon, 05 Feb 2007 22:57:22 -0500

This is my Polish grandma's recipe, taught to her by her mother. She never wrote down recipes, which forced us to spend even more time with her, learning her recipes (no one ever complained about that though), but also had the unfortunate (for you) effect of none of us writing down the recipes either, so most measurements below are estimates. It is a little time-consuming, as everything is made from scratch, but it is good to whip up on a Sunday afternoon in January. You can also not make the dumplings and just serve the broth with other egg noodles. -- posted by ksduffster

Polish Chicken Soup

Tue, 06 Nov 2007 00:27:30 -0500

This is my Polish family's chicken soup recipe which has been a Sunday tradition in our family forever. I only serve this with homemade noodles, and if you have the patience to make your own noodles, this is the soup to have them with. I like to get this started early on Sunday morning, and I also like when the kids wake up and say "smells like Sunday".. Yes, there is curry powder in the stock, and if you don't like curry powder, I suggest to you that there is not a substantial curry flavor to the broth that one would say "tastes like curry", because it doesn't! It just hightens the flavor I think. -- posted by steve in FL

Polish Tomato Soup

Tue, 06 Nov 2007 00:33:03 -0500

This is a tart and flavorful tomato soup that my cousin from Poland made us when she was over here visiting. She served them with kluski dumplings, I'll try to get that recipe posted, too. She had a technique of burning the onion over an open flame and letting it cool before chopping it and adding it to the soup, but I don't have a gas stove, so I don't bother with that step. -- posted by steve in FL

Zosia's Polish Dill Pickle Soup

This Dill Pickle Soup tastes just like the one they serve at the Polish Village Cafe in Hamtramck, MI, a long time Polish city next to Detroit. If you ever get a chance, stop into eat there. If you grew up Polish, it feels like you're eating in Grandma's basement. Enjoy! -- posted by brian48195

Summer Borscht (Lower Fat)

Mon, 21 Jul 2008 19:54:45 -0400

This is a modified version of Ina Garten's Summer borscht that I found on foodtv.com. I have replaced whole fat sour cream and yogurt, with low fat. I also made it with 3 beets instead of 5, and prepared them in a pressure cooker. I eliminated the sugar from 1/4 cup, to 2 tablespoons. For flavor and texture, I added sauteed onion and carrots. And for authenticity, I prepared it with beef broth. Last, I increased the amount of beet liquid used, thus increasing the portion size. -- posted by jessica327

Grandma's Borscht (Polish Beet Soup)

Thu, 23 Oct 2008 13:15:37 -0400

When I made borscht for the first time, I was alone in my dorm room. When I tasted the first bite the first thing I thought was "it tastes like home." And then I thought of that scene from Ratatouille when the critic ate it and was brought back to his childhood. This is the vegetarian version, but it tastes pretty close to the real thing (Grandma made it with pork hock). -- posted by Chef #962474

Cynthia's Pickle Soup

My variation of Polish Dill Pickle Soup. It's simple and delicious! Good comfort food for a cold day! The flavor can vary a lot by the pickle you use, you can use pickled or brined pickles. I used the pickled kind because I like the sour flavor from the vinegar. I always start with whole pickles because they are easier to grate. I recommend dicing everything to about 1/4 inch dice for this recipe. -- posted by nursecynthia

Warszawa's Winter Borscht

Thu, 12 Mar 2009 00:06:58 -0400

This is a hearty borscht that can be made either with or without meat. For the vegetarian version, use a veggie kielbase such as Tofurky (in place of the Polish sausage) and saute the pieces separately, then wait until the soup is cooked before adding the sauted pieces, i.e. just before garnishing and serving. This recipe is from the popular Warzawa Restaurant in Santa Monica, California. The chef-owner uses all fresh beets from the local farmers market. Note when using fresh beets the size available can vary, if the beets are large, one bunch should be enough. -- posted by lynnski / LA

Polish Mushroom Barley Soup

Fri, 01 May 2009 03:06:35 -0400

From Mark Bittman's book, "The Best Recipes in the World". This recipe has only a handful of ingredients. If it were anyone except Bittman, I'd be worried that it meant a paucity of taste. However, it is Bittman, so although I don't expect this to be strongly flavored, I do expect it to be good and comforting. -- posted by Debbie R.
