látkakapalina

Látkakapalina is a traditional Czech dish. Its name translates roughly to "spy's broth" or "spy's soup," although the exact origin of the name is debated and not definitively known. The dish is typically a clear, savory broth. The base is usually made from chicken or beef stock, which is then seasoned with herbs and spices. Common additions include finely diced vegetables such as carrots, celery, and parsley root. A key characteristic of látkakapalina is its clarity, which is achieved by carefully skimming the broth during the cooking process. Sometimes, small pieces of cooked meat, often from the stock used, are included in the soup. It is often served as a starter or a light meal, especially during colder months. Látkakapalina is a simple yet flavorful dish, representing a comforting aspect of Czech culinary heritage.
