Polish Bread Soup

Not rated yetRate it

Polish bread soup is a traditional rustic dish made from stale bread cooked in aromatic broth with garlic and spices. Slow simmering allows bread to soften and naturally thicken the soup. Garlic and marjoram give the soup its characteristic flavor. This soup is simple filling and deeply rooted in old Polish cuisine.

Preparation

6 steps · tap a step to mark it done

  1. Cut stale bread into small pieces. Smaller pieces soften evenly and help thicken the soup naturally.

  2. Bring water or broth to a gentle boil in a pot. Add bread pieces and simmer for several minutes until bread becomes very soft.

  3. Peel garlic and crush it finely. Add garlic to the pot and stir gently.

  4. Add butter and dried marjoram. Simmer soup briefly so butter melts and flavors combine.

  5. Season soup with salt and black pepper to taste. Adjust seasoning gradually while soup is hot.

  6. Remove soup from heat and serve immediately. ENJOY!

Stale bread is essential for proper texture and flavor.
Garlic should be added after bread softens to avoid bitterness.
