Cabbage Roll Soup {Zupa Gołąbkowa}
Cabbage roll soup {zupa gołąbkowa} is a relatively young recipe in Poland. I’ve heard of it once or twice while browsing through groups dedicated to Polish food. I think the idea is brilliant. A bit complicated recipe for cabbage rolls {gołąbki}: ground pork and rice mixture rolled into steamed leaves of cabbage now becomes a simple dish that can be made in under an hour. What’s not to like?
I took a jab at making this dish my own. Watch me improvise and learn with me. The soup tastes exactly how gołąbki do. Quick and delicious. Again, brilliant!
