🇺🇦 Ukraine recipe

Kapusniak

Kapusniak is a hearty, tangy sauerkraut soup that warms the soul on the coldest Ukrainian winter days. Built on a foundation of smoky pork ribs and sharp fermented cabbage, this soup delivers a satisfying sour punch that is tempered by potatoes, sweet carrots, and a long, slow simmer. It is unpretentious home cooking at its most satisfying, the kind of dish that fills the kitchen with an irresistible aroma for hours.
