Polish Easter Soup
It's that season of the year in our Polish communities around the country and especially the greater Hamtramck/Detroit Michigan Area for us Poles to have our Easter baskets blessed on Holy Saturday.
Then as our mother's used to do which was to make Easter soup or as some people call it in Polish zurek, some spell it zhurek or in English some call it white borsch. But, my mother would make it for Easter Sunday after Mass we ate a small bowl of Easter soup with rye bread so we could save our appetite for the later Easter dinner. The kids hunted for Easter eggs in the backyard. So, HAPPY EASTER or in our mother language, Polish --
Wesołych Świąt Wielkanocnych!

Like this soup
Dear Arleta,
Thank you for adding your comment about the Easter soup. I love it, too. I remember eating it every Easter Sunday morning after Mass and communion. Back in those days we didn't eat before Mass and communion. But, we would rush home to have a bowl of my mother's Easter soup and hunt for Easter eggs in the backyard. Those are very good and wonderful memories from my childhood. I feel as though I had a memorable and colorful childhood celebrating these important holidays. Again, thank you, Arleta. God bless you and watch over you.
