Hi! I am from Brazil, my great grandparents came from Poland. This year my dad passed away and I find myself taking an interest in Polish culture, maybe to be closer to dad and grandma. I only knew how to make farmers cheese pierogui, learned it from grandma, but I found your channel and decided to make this soup for Christmas. I was unsure if I would like it, as I never tasted it before. I also had to substitute some of the ingredients, I didnt find the type of celery you used, and I am vegan so I replaced the egg and butter for vegan substitutes. The soup turned out great! It is different from any soup I tasted before, it is hearty, flaverfull and not too strong neither too weak. I loved it and I will be definetly making it again. Thanks so much. It is amazing that I can connect with my family roots through food, even so far away from Poland, thanks to your channel. The miracles of internet and learning english. Merry Christmas!
When i make anything polish and someone ask me for a recipe I ALWAYS send them to your chanel. One of the reasons ( besides your cooking is excellent) is for the measurements , because i always cook "na oko"🤣🤣🤣. So thank you for that.
Holey moley. I’m in heaven with this and very late to watch this particular video. It’s all very enticing. Beets are life ... even in my Norwegian mother’s world. And she also said marjoram was a spice she couldn’t live without. ❤️❤️ And please let me know if parsley root is different than parsnip ... I think parsnips taste like a wet old rag. Lol.
Parsley root is different than parsnips. it is also calledCeleriac (Apium graveolens var. rapaceum), also called celery root, knob celery, and turnip-rooted celery (although it is not a close relative of the turnip). Thanks for watching!
Question! I don’t have a mason jar like you do so I used another glass jar with a suction lid and taped it around to seal it. If a bit of air gets in is that okay?
I’m actually dating a guy right now who told me that he hasn’t had beetroot since his grandmother passed so I wanna learn how to make Borscht to surprise him
No meat on Christmas? Does that have a religious meaning behind that tradition, like no meat on Fridays during Lent in the Catholic faith, or is it based on some other tradition? Interesting! That soup looks like a labor of love!! A two part video eh? I guess I will have to wait until next Monday? Take care!
It’s based on folklore. On Christmas Eve an angel comes down from heaven to visit all the animals and asks them how you have been treating them to see how much to bless you for the next year.... that’s why you must feed them well and it is meat free dinner for the night. That’s what I’ve been told.
@@76monikaW In Poland, Christmas Eve is a day first of fasting, then of feasting. The Wigilia feast begins at the appearance of the first star. There is no red meat served but fish, usually carp. The supper, which includes many traditional dishes and desserts can sometimes last for over two hours. It is followed by the exchange of gifts. I finally had to Google it!! 😁 Very interesting!! Thank you for sharing your culture! My traditions are based on German heritage, but have been modified by American culture also. Thanks to everyone who has shared a little of Polish history with me!!
@@markhurning8051 I didnt question them being organic. I used to grow buraczki (beets) with my Babcia and Dziadek. I meant raw in the definition of 'not cooked'. They do not come of of the ground the colour or texture the ones in the video are. These have been cooked in advance (before the start of the video) so that means they are not raw, they are pre-cooked

"If you haven't had beets before...shame on you" Love the way you think Anna.

Sometimes you wonder if it is worth it. Then you hear your family telling others about their memories of Christmas Eve dinners.
Totally worth it then🥰

2nd generation Canadian Pole and we still celebrate 12 meatless courses dec 24 with oplatyk. Wesolych swiat
This was a hit tonight, thank you! 🙌🏻
Thank you from the bottom of my heart 🙏 No matter how much I ask my mom for recipes she never gives them out hahah.
My mother used to make a mushroom soup that had a sour taste to it. It was so delicious !!!
We have the soup every Christmas.... I have never made it before.... maybe I will try it this year!
You should!

Yummy! I am baking poppy seed roll now. Is that a traditional recipe for Christmas in Poland?
Yes😊
Loving your channel 😻 I would be thrilled if you could teach us how you can/pasteurise your beet soup: timing/heat/pressure or water can? Xx
To Greg: the meatless meal is traditional for Christmas Eve. Christmas Day meal has plenty of meat.
Question! I don’t have a mason jar like you do so I used another glass jar with a suction lid and taped it around to seal it. If a bit of air gets in is that okay?
No problem.
Anna, you need to clarify that Christmas Eve is the main celebration with a meatless meal not Christmas Day
I’m actually dating a guy right now who told me that he hasn’t had beetroot since his grandmother passed so I wanna learn how to make Borscht to surprise him
Could you set the beets in the sun to warm if it’s cold where you are?
Yes😊
Just to be clear Christmas Eve or Wilia is meatless. It’s a fasting day in preparation. Christmas Day itself is not meatless.
What do you do with the beets? I can’t believe that a Pole would toss them…Salad?
The beets have given all they’ve got for this dish. You’re only left over with the body, soul is all gone. 😉

Just below this video, click on Polish Your Kitchen and the whole list of recipes will appear.
Does it matter about the room temperature when setting beet soup mixture
Room temperature, around 65-70ish F.
The 12 dishes represent the twelve disciples and we used to put straw under the table cloth as a reminder of birth stahl.
My God...we has to watch her slice EACH BEET !!!
No meat on Christmas Eve, Wigilia. On Christmas Day, tons of meat, all kinds.
Anna, the beets you're dicing are not raw. They don't go that colour until they're cooked through.
Those beets are raw organic beets, I can assure you.

Wesołych Świąt i Szczęliwego Nowego Roku. 🙂
Those are beautiful beets. Once you peel them they are a vibrant deep red. Raw peeled beets are deep reddish purple.
