The soup is known for its rich, comforting flavor and is often served during colder months.

The preparation of lstukas involves simmering the meat and vegetables in water until they are tender. The soup is then seasoned with salt, pepper, and sometimes additional herbs like dill or parsley. In some variations, sour cream or cream may be added for a richer texture. Lstukas is often served with bread or boiled potatoes on the side.

This dish is a staple in Lithuanian cuisine and is enjoyed both at home and in restaurants. It reflects the country's agricultural heritage and the use of locally sourced ingredients. Lstukas is not only a comforting meal but also a cultural symbol of Lithuanian hospitality and tradition.
