Polonius3 994 | 12,367 6 Dec 2008 / #1Anyone tried Hortex or Krakus brand czerwony barszcz out of a carton for Wigilia? Some heat it up just as it comes, others "doctor it up" a bit (a tablespoon of red wine, a bit of garlic, a dash or marjoram or mushroom powder). Of course it's not like babcia used to make, but do you find it more or less acceptable.
Shawn_H 6 Dec 2008 / #2Tastes too much like it came from a factory, not a kitchen. I prefer the home made variety.

cjjc 29 | 408 6 Dec 2008 / #10It's ok. I thought it would be horrible compared to home made but it wasn't as bad as I thought. Not taking anything away from the home made stuff which is best of course.clear type soup with pierogies?My grandmother used to make a sour clear type soup and serve it with pierogies. Does anyone have the name of this soup and the recipe? I guess it's called "barsz".
