As an English person with a polish girlfriend, I ranked the Polish soups I have tried

38 comments
  1. In the S tier the definite best soup is Grochowka

    In the A tier rosół and pomidorowa

    B – a definite ok, the Ogorkówka

    Shit tier – barszcz (sorry I just didn’t like it even with mini pierogi/potatoes)

    Edit: formatting

  2. S – Grochówka wojskowa, Barszcz biały, Kwaśnica

    A – Rosół, Barszcz Czerwone z Uszkami, Zupa Koperkowa, Zalewajka, Krupnik, Zupa pomidorowa

    B – Zupa pomidorowa z makronem, Zupa ogórkowa

    F – Zupa pomidorowa z ryżem

  3. Try flaczki if you dare. It’s my favourite due to really rich aroma, but for people outside of Poland it may seem intimidating/disgusting.

  4. Barszcz z uszkami being this low is absolutely sacrilegious, I will not stand for it. The best part of Christmas dinner every year.

  5. Wait for a very hot summer day and try chłodnik litewski.

  6. Puting red borscht at C? Are you ok mate?!

    Altough to be fair, making it with pieces of beets, potatoes and other veggies and cream is far superior.

  7. Barszcz doesn’t belong so low for sure, maybe you haven’t tried a good one

  8. Sorry if my Polish is bad. I am trying to reply to things in Polish but I haven’t been learning it for more than a few months.

  9. This may make me sound boring.
    But rosół tops everything for me.
    You need to try the Polish mushroom soup.
    It’s normally (atleast in my family) eaten around Christmas.

  10. Barszcz Bialy or Zurek served in a bread loaf bowl is amazing. But the slightly spicy fish soups you get at the Baltic Sea restaurants are top.

  11. As a British person with a Polish boyfriend, I must say that I’m both shocked and offended that you placed Barszcz @ C 😧
    You should definitely try it again (and don’t forget the Uszka) because I’m telling you, it’s 10/10!

  12. Nice! I’m glad you enjoy our cuisine (or at least I suppose you do). But Barszcz z uszkami is an S tier for me, along with Żurek

  13. Barszcz is top tier

    Chlodnik is the one I can’t get on with. Shit tier.

  14. I won’t stand disrespecting of a barszcz. Be ready to take me on in a duel.

  15. You’re being downvoted and may be wondering why.

    It’s because Polish soups are god tier and you haven’t included some of the key members of the pantheon.

    Truly all autumn and winter we worship at the alter of the soup and stew gods.

  16. i would replace my blood with borscht if i could. your palate will get there in time

  17. Are you trying to start a fight? With a post like this you could burn down this whole subreddit!

  18. If you ever find yourself in a good restaurant in the polish mountains you definitely need to try żurek w chlebie, best soup ive ever eaten and afterwards you can eat the bread too.

  19. try żurek with white sausage and eggs also you could try zupa grzybowa. Delicious

  20. I know ppl that would kill you for putting borscht in c.
