I like Polish soups. But only when created from Polish ingredients (taste better). ****

Polish rosół z kurczaka (chicken soup) or zupa pomidorowa ze śmietaną (tomato soup with cream) are my favourite :). *****

I'm from western N.Y. and my Polish aunt made a soup she called cvas. But as I recall she used lamb pieces, tomatoes or tomato soup,sour cream or heavy cream and I believe a little vinegar. It was excellent. Could this be the zupa pomidorowa you mentioned and if so may I have the recipe?
