Italian Wedding Soup is almost a complete meal in one bowl, as it includes the broth, veggies, small meatballs, and pasta or rice.
My daughter makes this soup for her family, as her children love the little meatballs in the soup, so I also added it to my list of soups I prepare at home and often share with them.
Sauerkraut soup, also known as “Kapusnyak”- in Ukrainian, or “Kapusniak” – in Polish, is a very refreshing, zestful, and nutritious soup.
Ukrainians love their Borscht.
This quick and easy version of preparing a Ukrainian Red Beet Borscht was shared by my cousin from Ukraine.
Once my garden produces an abundance of fresh herbs and vegetables, the time is right to cook Botvinka. Soups are very popular in Eastern Europe and are the first course of a lunch or dinner meal, just like tossed salads in the U.S.
The name for this soup, “Botvinka,” derives from the Polish description of the tops of very young red beet plants, which are the major ingredient in this soup.
This dish is full of the goodness of fresh, young, green leafy vegetables, and because they are so tender, they require a very short cooking time.
I am on a soup-cooking kick, as the chilly and rainy weather is getting to me today.
This time I cooked up a large pot of quite delicious Italian Sausage and Kale soup.
