Kulajda

Czech kulajda is a creamy dill soup with a floury roux acting as the base. It is believed that every Czech region and family have their signature version of this hearty soup. Today most varieties consist of mushrooms and potatoes, with an occasional addition of sour cream or poached eggs.

Certain regional varieties use vinegar to give the dish an intensely sour taste. Regardless of the numerous versions of the soup, kulajda is essentially a classic, warming dish that is mostly enjoyed during the cold winter season.
