🇷🇴 Romania recipe
Ciorba Radauteana
Ciorba Radauteana is an elegant and creamy chicken soup originating from the city of Radauti in Bucovina, in Romania's northeast. Unlike most Romanian sour soups that rely on borsch or lemon for acidity, this ciorba achieves its gentle tang from a rich liaison of sour cream and egg yolks tempered into a velvety chicken broth. The result is a soup of extraordinary smoothness and refinement that has earned a devoted following across the entire country.
