About Fazuľová polievka
Luboš Brieda's kyslá fazuľová polievka is a Slovak sour bean soup with smoked bacon and dairy. His rendition uses cranberry beans, which he describes as similar to the beans he knew in Slovakia.
Sour cream and milk give the soup its creamy body. Vinegar supplies the sour note, balanced by sugar, with garlic, bay leaves and black pepper providing aroma.
The beans and pieces of bacon give the bowl a substantial texture. Optional potato adds another soft, starchy element within the pale, tangy soup.
