Kapustnica is a traditional Slovakian soup made of sauerkraut, mushrooms, onions, bacon, and spices. It is often served as a main dish or as a side dish to accompany meat dishes, and is especially popular during the colder months. The ingredients are first fried in a large pot, then simmered with sauerkraut, mushrooms, and water to create a flavorful broth. The soup is thickened with flour and is often finished with a drizzle of sour cream or crème fraîche, giving it a rich, creamy texture and a tangy, savory flavor. Kapustnica is a staple of Slovakian cuisine and is widely enjoyed throughout the country.
