I was so excited the other day. My mother brought me a few jars of Szczaw that she picked up at the Polish store. I remember eating Szczawlowa Zupa (sp?) as my favorite soup as I was growing up.
I have had it different ways... my favorite is with diced potatoes and a cut up hard boiled egg. My mom always made it without cream added, and a splash of cream would be the finishing touch before serving.
Anyone else have the taste for it? I am going to make a pot this week. I have to get some good beef bones . YUMMY!

Monika,
welcome to the forum!
sure. I like szczawiowa zupa and I do it from time to time thanks to John Chmielewski, a member of the forum who sent me sorrel seeds once.

Hi Monika, yes I know szczawiowa soup too - and it's one of my favourites. I have an easier access to szczaw as I am a native Pole living in Poland. THe only thing I don't like about szczawiowa is ... it cannot be eaten too often due tohigh concentration of oxalic acid. Welcome to the forum. Witaj!  |

THe only thing I don't like about szczawiowa is ... it cannot be eaten too often due tohigh concentration of oxalic acid. They regularly serve this soup in our school canteen. With rice and egg. It is passable but certainly not my favourite soup... It brings up too many associations with spinache. |

Gee Holly. Long time ,no see. I stop by at least once a week to peek at what you guy's are into. I do not participate much, because I just am not interested in Politics..I do read the jokes though
I enjoyed the URL's that you sent me.. Now, that was interesting. Living in Baltimore. I spent a lot of time in Gettysburg. I loved that place.
Now I spend most of my time in the WW2 history talk sites. You would be surprised of the people that I ran into .Although I never knew them personally. We are very close, as we fought in the same sectors..We recall the same things..
We old geezers get together and relive history. After all. There were 16 million of us in WW2. Now there are but 2million of us left,and dying at the rate of 1thousand a day.. So they tell me.
Ok lil gurl.. Be good.. We will talk again.

WOW Franek those stats are pretty sobering. Please do stop by and let us know how you are. I have some pictures of Shiloh I will be putting up soon. I also may get around to putting up my pictures of Custer's battlefield or if you want, Little Big Horn. I have become quite the battle field tourist! Loved the picture of Monte Cassino you posted the other day!

My mom loves szczawiowa zupa, and when I told her I found some jars of it at the only sklep in St. Louis, I followed the recipe. She didn't like it at all.  She said it was not at all like what her mom made. She grew the szczaw in her garden, (we picked it and ate it as kids and LOVED it immensely) and the leaves were left somewhat intact. The stuff in the jar had the consistency of pea soup, and I was so sad it wasn't what she wanted. Always up for a good recipe, provided I can find the fresh plant.... |
