𝐓𝐚𝐭𝐚’𝐬 𝐑𝐨𝐬ół – 𝐏𝐨𝐥𝐢𝐬𝐡 𝐂𝐡𝐢𝐜𝐤𝐞𝐧 𝐒𝐨𝐮𝐩 (𝐦𝐲 𝐟𝐚𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫’𝐬 𝐫𝐞𝐜𝐢𝐩𝐞) 🍲🇵🇱
Last night, while it was raining, windy, and cold outside we were lucky to be warm inside enjoying a hot bowl of rosoł using my father’s traditional Polish chicken soup recipe.
Growing up, every Sunday without fail, whether it was 40°C or 10°C outside there was always chicken soup served for dinner.
It was our family staple, as it is for so many Polish families, and to this day it remains one of my fondest food memories.
Even after my father passed away I have carried on the tradition with my own family, and it’s wonderful to see my daughters keeping it alive in their own ways whether creating their own delicious versions or enjoying a bowl at a café or restaurant.
For this photo, I served it in one of the old enamel plates my father always used.
While the rest of us preferred smaller ceramic bowls.
I’ve kept those plates and they have become one of the many sentimental treasures that remind me of him.
This is the one comfort meal that never fails to nourish and soothe the body, support healing, and bring the family together, whether to celebrate an occasion or simply to share a meal.
The traditional version uses a simple clear chicken broth, noodles, carrot, and chicken.
However, every now and then I like to give it an Asian twist with bok choy, bean sprouts, fresh coriander, chili, and a squeeze of lemon for extra flavour. 🌿🌶🍋
