Polish Cuisine: Winter Soups – Saturday, February 21, 2026

Polish soups are more than starters, they are soulful, nourishing, and steeped in tradition. In this class, you will learn to make three vegetarian soups: Kapuśniak, a tangy sauerkraut-based soup layered with earthy vegetables and warming spices, Barszcz, a vibrant beet broth served with delicate mushroom-filled dumplings called uszka, and a Pickle soup, a hearty soup made with salt-brined dill pickles. We’ll explore fermentation, broth-building, and thoughtful presentation while sharing stories of Christmas Eve dinners and everyday comfort. Recipes—including meat adaptations—will be provided, along with generous sampling and cultural context.

Your instructor will provide the following:
