Makes a fantastically rich, hearty potato soup your family will love, just leave out the “sour” element in the recipe.
Another authentic Czech recipe. “Kiselica” loosely translates to “sour”. As happens, every family had their own version of this popular Czech soup. Many families added sauerkraut to this and won’t eat it any other way. My mothers family did not add the sauerkraut.
My non-Czech husband does not like the sour taste…makes a fantastic regular potato soup…so I leave the “hot pepper vinegar” on the table for each to add their own…all my kids love the addition of the “hot pepper vinegar” as do some of my little grandkids!
My children all learned to make this soup when they “left the nest”. They were even asked to make it by room mates and neighbors.
