I got a taste for barszcz czerwony on my recent trips to Poland. Can anyone recommend any particular brands of these that you can buy in packet form. I have already tried "Wariany", which I quite enjoyed.

I use adamba.com "white borsch". Probably the only prepackaged Polish soup that tastes just like mom used to make it.

In the UK you can buy it anywhere they sell Polish food, which seems to be a fcuk of a lot of places of late... in either packets or jars. My personal favourite is Knorr Ogorkowi, with crispy croutons. I have introduced this and Barszcz to my entire office.

Krakus makes an awesome barszcz in a carton ready to drink.

Isn't Knorr a German brand? I love their Goulash and Sourbraten, but never seen ogorkowa from Knorr... I'll take a look around.
If I want a polish flavor I get Adamba! You can't beat the flavor.
(I wish they did not put MSG in it, however)

Knorr do great value cuppa soups, as has been stated above. It will never match a real żurek done here in Silesia but they fill a hole and are tasty, especially barszcz czerwony.

I am looking for a recipe that my grandmother always made. I am not even sure what the correct spelling. I am guessing at it so I hope someone can tell me. It was callled Faus? All I know was that it was a bit on the sour side and we used to put hungarian noodle in it. If anyone can help me I would greatly appreciate it very much. I live in Georgia and when we go to Ohio I make sure that I hit the Polish market for Kielbase and Pierogies.

farsz (read: farsh) = filling. there are different kinds of farsz. it could be sweet cheese farsz; sour cabbage and mushrooms farsz; meat farsz; chees, potatoes and onion farsz.

Do you mean "kwas"? Then it's bialy zurek that you want, it has kwas (acid) in it. Kwas is made by fermenting grain. It gives the soup a great sour taste. We put sausage and potatoes in our zurek.

Didn't you mean Winiary, sausage? They are good, Knorr too. Knorr Serowa is tasty :)

It felt so good to go back to the cheap soups after having forked out 16PLN for a bowl. To hell with that, never again! The packet soups nicely fill a hole.

So about 1.50zł? They are just as filling. I was mortified at the cost of that soup (16PLN). Soup is traditionally a food for peasants to warm their cockles and get them going.

Plus, packet soups can be made quickly. Most workplaces have a kettle so it's just pour and go.

The Winiary barszcz czerwony takes 15 minutes. It has loads of dried pieces of beetroot in it. You are supposed to take them out before serving, but I always eat them.

15 minutes, wow, I didn't know. Well, it's as the HP motto said, 'the best things come to those who wait'. Have you tried the new soup, simply called 'Smaczna'? I think it's from Winiary too, a subsidiary of Nestle I believe.

I liked soups as Scotland is very much a soup culture. We have soups that can compete with the best Polish ones. We have peasantish ones and high-end ones.

Haven't you seen the commercial about it, sausage? No, konkretnie, smaczna ;)

Aha, I've forgotten the packet soups back home. We are more of a pot noodle culture.

I recommend them.
They're not nearly as good as the real thing, but they travel and ship well and are a pit of Poland when you're far away.

I second that motion.

That's why I have several packs in the cupboard.
