Kulajda
A creamy South Bohemian mushroom and potato soup sharpened with vinegar, scented with dill and served with boiled egg.
About Kulajda
Kulajda is a traditional Czech soup associated with South Bohemia. This profile follows Cook Like Czechs' creamy mushroom-and-potato version, finished with dill and a hard-boiled egg.
Dried mushrooms give the broth a deep woodland savouriness, while cream and butter soften its vinegar-led tang. Sugar rounds the sweet-sour balance and fresh dill brings a bright herbal lift.
The soup is pale and creamy, dotted with potato, mushrooms and green dill. A halved or whole boiled egg makes the bowl more substantial, while the flour-thickened broth stays smooth rather than clear.
