Držková polievka
Also known as: Dršťková polévka
Slovak beef-tripe soup with paprika, caraway and marjoram, garnished with red onion and parsley.

About Držková polievka
This Slovak držková polievka comes from the mother of Varecha contributor moznodobremoznozle. Beef tripe gives the soup its distinctive texture, while paprika contributes a warm red colour.
Onion, garlic, caraway, black pepper and marjoram form the savoury seasoning. Chilli adds heat to the substantial soup, with flour providing a thicker consistency.
Red-onion rings and parsley brighten the surface. Fresh bread accompanies the bowl, alongside the ribbons of tripe and the richly seasoned broth characteristic of this family preparation.
