1. Traditional Polish Soups Simmered from Scratch at Pasztecik NYC Kitchen
In Polish culinary tradition, soup holds a place of unmatched honor — it opens the Sunday family dinner and restores energy after chilly days across New York City. At our certified commercial kitchen Pasztecik NYC (paszteciknyc.com) in North Bellmore, we remain unyielding in our dedication to scratch cooking. We reject industrial shortcuts entirely: no artificial bouillon cubes, flavor enhancers, or powdered bases.
The backbone of every soup is a rich meat-and-bone broth slow-simmered for 4 to 6 hours with bountiful root vegetables: carrots, parsley root, celeriac, and leeks, seasoned with allspice berries, bay leaves, and cracked black pepper. This wholesome stock delivers silky body, deep aromas, and natural nutrients that Queens food lovers immediately recognize in the deli cases at Ranczo Polish Deli in Ozone Park.
2. The Sovereign Trio: Sour Rye Żurek, Warsaw Beef Flaki & Dill Pickle Soup
The undisputed crown jewel of our soup portfolio is Staropolski Żurek. We brew our own rye sourdough starter fermented from coarse flour, garlic, and wild marjoram. The soup is loaded with succulent slices of traditional Polish white pork sausage and double-smoked bacon from heritage smokehouses. Żurek features a velvety texture and an invigorating, balanced tang that delights purists.
For lovers of hearty meat comfort, we prepare Warsaw-Style Beef Flaki — tender, slow-braised strips of beef tripe simmered in root vegetable broth seasoned with freshly grated nutmeg, ginger, and wild marjoram. Alongside sits our beloved Polish Dill Pickle Soup (Zupa Ogórkowa), prepared from barrel-cured sour pickles shredded, simmered in butter, and blended with diced potatoes and farm sweet cream.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| Staropolski Żurek | Fermented rye sour, smoked bacon, white kielbasa, garlic, marjoram | Tangy, deep, richly savory | Hard-boiled egg, sliced sourdough rye bread | Steaming hot bowl or sourdough bread bowl |
| Warsaw-Style Beef Flaki | Simmered beef-vegetable stock, beef tripe strips, nutmeg, ginger | Robust, aromatic, gently peppery | Crushed wild marjoram, artisan bread | Hearty lunch bowl for cold winter days |
| Polish Cucumber Soup | Meat broth, barrel-cured grated pickles, potatoes, sweet cream | Bright, tart, savory, comforting | Fresh minced dill, tender potato cubes | Classic comfort centerpiece for family dinner |
| Hungarian Beef Bogracz | Braised beef shoulder, sweet & hot paprika, tomatoes, caraway | Thick, spicy, intensely flavorful | Chopped parsley, crusty rustic bread | Substantial one-pot goulash meal |
3. Hearty Hungarian Beef Bogracz, Ruby Red Borscht & Summer Chłodnik
A standout comfort meal during chilly New York weather is our Hungarian Beef Bogracz. This thick, warming goulash stew-soup represents a complete one-pot meal. Tender chunks of beef shoulder simmer gently with sweet and hot paprika, ripe tomatoes, onions, garlic, caraway seeds, and diced potatoes. Rich and aromatic, it warms the soul from the very first spoonful.
No Polish kitchen is complete without clear Red Borscht (Barszcz Czerwony) — a ruby-red beet broth naturally fermented with beet sour and garlic. It is the ultimate companion to be sipped alongside our oven-toasted golden yeast paszteciki filled with sauerkraut and mushrooms or braised meat. In summer months, we also offer cooling Lithuanian Chłodnik made with young beet greens, kefir, radishes, and fresh garden cucumbers.
