Kartoflanka

This traditional Polish potato soup is incredibly versatile and apart from potatoes, it can incorporate various root vegetables, mushrooms, or smoked meat. The choice of ingredients is easily adjusted to personal preferences, but all the varieties are cooked in flavorful meat or vegetable broths, then usually thickened with cream. Garnished with chopped parsley or dill and always served hot, this thick, hearty soup is enjoyed as a nutritious appetizer.
