Cucumbers Soups (Zupa ogórkowa)
Cucumber soup, also known as zupa ogórkowa, stands out as a creamy and traditional Polish delicacy that always surprises and delights. Made with pickled, this unique soup embodies the perfect blend of flavours and warms the soul, especially on autumn days. It crosses borders and offers a taste of Polish tradition to all who dare to indulge. When I tried the Polish version with stewed vegetables and coconut milk, I fell in love with it forever. Rassolnik soup is often eaten in Russia. This dish is known to have existed as early as the 15th century when it was called kalya. Rassolnik became a part of regular Soviet cuisine and today it is also popular in Ukraine and Belarus.
It is a popular hangover cure.
