I had this uncanny feeling/hope of running into you there, Deb, but alas, after the New York Times write-up it looked like a movie premiere outside that place! So we went to the other little Ukrainian place next door, the one that looks like a community center. Also quite tasty.

I've never been to Veselka, but this super-tasty soup was warming to body and soul on a gray, cold Wisconsin day recently. Thanks! I just thought you'd like to know about a recent New york Times article on Veselka (http://www.nytimes.com/2010/01/06/dining/06soup.html?pagewanted=2&sq=veselka&st=cse&scp=1), with links to a few different recipes on there, including a Christmas version of the borscht that other posters seem to be so fond of. What makes it Christmasy? Who knows? I've never even had the original :(. But it looks delicious! Hi!

I absolutely love that place and make a point to go there for lunch at least once every month. I will be sure to try the cabbage soup recipe as well since it sounds amazing.

As luck would have it I wound up getting sick so it really hit the spot. I didn't season the pork butt though and next time I will. I love your blog and have tried a couple of your recipes. I hope to do a lot more cooking and experimenting this year and am looking forward to what you'll be making. You've definitely got skillz! I made this over the weekend and it’s a winner.

I am addicted to your site. This isn't an exaggeration! I check it everyday for new posts, and I think I've gone through all the old ones. I just made this soup last night (DELICIOUS, and super comforting!) with some no-knead bread! I've made the chili (oh my lord), the bretzel rolls (I am now making double batches to keep up with demand!), the brown butter cookies, the Russian appetizer spread, the mussels...and this is just recently. You're an inspiration, don't stop blogging EVER. Oh god, I'm a super fan. Ok…so this might be more along the lines of fan mail rather than a comment…but who cares. I am addicted to your site.

I must have been a little spacey when I made it, because I made two mistakes. First, I forgot to remove the pork and just left it in the pot the entire time. It totally fell apart in the soup, which isn't necessarily a bad thing. Second, I accidentally added way too much cabbage. I caught myself and removed some, but still ended up with much more than 2 cups. The soup was still fantastic. I love recipes that I can totally mess up and still taste great! This one is definitely a keeper. My husband raved about it. Thanks for another fabulous recipe. I'm going to use the leftover sauerkraut for bratwurst with sauerkraut, apples, and onions (from epicurious- another fantastic recipe I've made many times). This is delish!

Last week I blogged about two soups I made with leftovers and pantry items. I added a little lacto-fermented sauerkraut (which is worlds better than the vinegar pickled stuff) and it just made both soups pop. It just brightened all the other ingredients and added such a great crunch. Can't wait to make this. I’ll have to try this soon.

I made this on Sunday and it has been great. It was better yesterday than on Sunday and it is perfect for all of the snow that we are getting here in New Mexico.
