The damp, dismal, blustery months of autumn are the perfect time for these hot, hearty and satisfying Polish-style soups which many Pol-Ams consider among the “comfort foods” of their childhood. A little Polish-style dried-vegetable-based flavor enhancer (known under such trade-names as Jarzynka, Vegeta, Warzywko or Kucharek) may be added to all savory soups, but use only 1/3 or less the amount recommended by the manufacturer. Otherwise your home-made soups will acquire that canned-soup, soup-mix or cafeteria-style taste.
