Recipe for Pierogi Soup

Being Ukrainian, I’m just a wee bit perogy crazy. Perogies were pretty much served at every meal at Baba's so we ate a lot of them. However, now-a-days that's just not practical. Perogies take a long time to make and the store bought ones just don't cut it. So... because I'm such a big fan of perogies, I have created a number of pierogi recipes that are also easy to make! You can find those recipes and my other Ukrainian recipes here! This recipe for Pierogi soup is a great way to get your pierogi fix without all the work of making perogies.

And it pairs really well with my Bread Machine Italian Breadsticks!

Ukrainian Soup

My kids are both Ukrainian dancers and every year on the first weekend in June we get to enjoy watching them dance at the Calgary Ukrainian festival. But we have actually been going every single year since the very first Ukrainian festival over a decade ago, even years before our kids danced. But sadly, this weekend we won't be there enjoying the music, dancing and eating fabulous Ukrainian food, due to this global pandemic. So in lieu of that, I wanted to celebrate at home with a Ukrainian meal; this delicious Ukrainian soup was the answer! And if you are looking for more awesome Ukrainian soups try my Shortcut Ukrainian Beet Borscht.
