🇨🇿 Czech Republic recipe

Kulajda

Kulajda is a traditional South Bohemian soup that embodies the Czech love of mushrooms, dill, and sour cream. It is a creamy, tangy, and earthy bowl of comfort that has been warming Czech households for centuries. Wild forest mushrooms simmer with potatoes in a dill-infused broth enriched with sour cream, and each bowl is crowned with a perfectly poached egg that breaks open to enrich the soup further. It is a soup of contrasts: creamy yet tangy, delicate yet deeply savory.
