Can't remember the name of the Poland-style soup?

I want to make some of this Polish soup I used to love but I can't remember the name, it had kielbasa, egg and potato, was kinda sour and is a sort of whitish pink colour.

Does anyone know the name? I dunno if its Zurek or not.
thanks.

ŻUREK indeed.
the Z at the beginning has a dot over it, pronounced lije G in, for example, the word "genre"

There are two white soups, zurek and barszcz bialy (white barshch), that are very similar. Zurek os more spicy and more sour, white barshch is milder.

Z with a dot is like "ge" in garage [garaz] not [geridz]. You may also try saying "sh" just voiced.

Welcome to the sour soups lovers club!

Zurek is very good when you have a hangover :).

Z zuru , chlop jak z muru .

My grandmother always said that every fiday.Friday was a "Zur" day.

Some Polish sayings (especially related to alcohol drinking) are too funny... :)

For example: Kto duzo pije ten dlugo zyje - "Who drinks a lot, lives long" ....

I am also trying to remember the name of a soup!

It's sounds a lot like that soup, except I don't think there is potatoes in it, but I'm not sure.
It definitely has horse raddish, some type of sausage (probably kielbasa) and egg whites in it though. Is it Zurek? Any help would be AMAZING!

Yes, it is probably Zurek.

have you tried flaczki?

I quite like them but i don't even know how to describe them to my English husband?????

Iwona,

It's:Tripe

Was it Campbell's Soup? :P :P :P

That's what they fed the cows, sheep innerds, to get mad-cow desease.

The soup is barscz, it has egg. ham fresh and smoked kielbasa and horseradish in it. Can be made with beets. Usually made for Easter. The sour can come from can be pickle juice, lemon, or vinegar. helena

Hello Helena,

Do you have a recipe for this soup? I know my husband has talked about it but didn't know what they called it so I couldn't find a recipe. I would love to have the recipe.

Thank you.

May be Zalewajka (pronounce salevayka) as well which is kind of barszcz biały but with potatoes halfs or quarters) in served locally (Silesia). Good stuff especially with freshly baked and crunchy bread.

Yes, It is Zurek

[Moved from]: Where can I buy coriander and miso soup in Poland?

Anyone know a shop that sells Chinese, Indian or Japanese vegetables, flavorings and food stuff in Krakow?

Thanks

For miso soup try Alma (Galeria Kazimierz or out on ul. Mlynska), or the health food shop on ul. Krupnicza (opposite Dynia cafe). Fresh coriander is really difficult to find especially at this time of year.

: ) guess what? Found kolendra (coriander) at Tesco today!

Ask and you shall receive.

Thanks inkrakow, will check Alma.
