my perennial go-to is kluski soop. I made it a number of different ways, but basically it's kluski noodles in broth. wala

similar to kluski kładzione when the dough is ladled in. it's a big ol' noodle basically and it's quite an elegant way to cook your carb portion

Kluski soop

I grew up on this shit, sustained on it later in life, and still make it today.

I wish I had a pic but this was my ultimate.
>be me, living in Boston
>end of winter, March
>just moved into my new apartment a couple days earlier
>barely unpacked
>walking home in the snow and dark, warm thunderstorm and lightning
>get home, soaked, muddy and icy boots
>throw a chicken legquarter in the oven with Lawry's
>hop in the shower and warm up and get cozy
>when I get out of the shower my chicken is about 15mins away from being done
>boil up some broth and whip up some kluski (egg and flour dumplings)
>by the time the kluski soup is ready the chicken is done
>sit on the floor in my bathrobe with a huge bowl of kluski soup and a plate of roast chicken, heat cranked up, pipes creaking, thunder and lightning flashing through the blinds
sometimes I wish I COULD go back

I can think of a bunch of delicious things but this simple staple has kept me alive all these years and through sickness and hangover

I never once cooked with my Polish grandma, but I cooked all the time with my mother who made the same recipes. My grandma was unwell for most of my childhood and eventually died of Alzheimer's, which was really stressful for those last few years.

I still make her potato pancakes and golabki and kluski though. She left me a whole box of handwritten cards with her recipes; literally hundreds of recipes. Nobody else in my life has ever fed me golabki so whenever I make it, from her recipe, I feel like she's right there with me. Miss my babci.

sick day kluski soup

any combination of rice and beans can sustain you for a long time, add chopped veggies, do mexican (add taco season) or cajun (old bay), or whatever else you think of. add ground beef or pork occasionally and keep your leftovers frozen, waste nothing. a whole rice cooker pot of the stuff with some chopped capsicum and onion, with ground beef, might run you $10 and it'll make like 10 meals worth.

also I like to make kluski a lot, it's an egg/flour dumpling you can cook in soup broth. eggs and flour is as cheap as it gets and also if you make them good it's fucking delicious. just need some stock cubes. 3 eggs worth will make a normal meal for like 3 people or one gigantic meal for one.

cook pasta separately and add a scoop into each bowl, barley is always nice but super easy to overdo, and then of course there's simple flour dumpling options

I would eat the shit of that right now

I make kluski soup. it's depression-era Polish fare but I was raised on itgh0rr

Although much of my Polish culinary tradition has been lost down the family tree, kluski, pierogi, and golabki are year-round staples in my kitchen. Shit's just plain good.

kluski :d

I also make kluski but you guys know that

>>15903197
fuck that looks nice

I do a bangin' kluski soup if you're prone to hangovers

I'm a half-Polish American. The Polish side wasn't as influential in my upbringing so I don't have a strong food tradition to carry-on, but I was basically raised on kluski and latkes, and we had golabki and perogies for special occasions. babci made the perogies and golabki and they were out of this world good, not like the store bought or cheap stuff you find around. i still make kluski soup almost weekly.

like anything Polish food is underrated as long as you filter-out the trash or the heavily compromised recipes that emerged during the Great Depression when people didn't have money or access to the traditional ingredients

I failed to point-out that more often than not I just make plain kluski soup, just broth and the kluski, no meat or vedge (except maybe sprinkling green onions or a handful of spinach at the end). it's super easy that way and always hits the spot

I always try to make sure i have a fresh bottle of coke or at least some OJ or chocolate milk ready for the morning.

When it's time to eat, bacon & eggs does the trick, or if it's lunch I might make kluski soup

well, kluski

nobody wants my kluski until they have it. and it's the best hangover-b-gone

i cook for accolades
