A simple traditional romanian soup

The cold weather has finally arrived in Amsterdam so it’s time for hearty stick-to-your-ribs food. In truth we eat this type of bean stew every few months, even in the summer. But it’s especially comforting once there’s a chill in the air.

This classic Romanian soup features hearty meatballs simmered in a flavourful broth with diced veggies and potatoes then finished with sour cream and fresh herbs like lovage, parsley and dill. Serve with hot pickled peppers and crusty bread for a perfect cold weather meal.

Pork rib soup with white beans, spare ribs, and vegetables, hearty and filling, perfect for cold winter days.

This is my grandfather's original Romanian recipe for a green bean soup. It is light, delicious and full of paprika flavor.

A basic recipe from Transylvanian cuisine is white bean soup with smoked ribs. And especially with tarragon and sour cream, and served with red onion and fresh bread.
