What Country Is Known for Soups?

Many cuisines enjoy soup for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, but Poland’s cuisine is abundant with a rich variety of soups. Some Polish soups include zurek, a traditional Polish soup made with fermented rye flour and meat such as pork sausage or ham, and flaki, a dense, hearty soup made with tripe. The broth is spicy and should be enjoyed with fresh bread or a roll.
