Polish clear chicken broth simmered with whole farm chicken, root vegetables and a charred onion, served with thin makaron noodles. The Polish Sunday lunch first course.
Rosół is the canonical Polish Sunday lunch first course and the broth that anchors every Polish wedding menu. The Warsaw version uses a free-range hen and roast onion for colour, finished with makaron nitki (thin egg noodles) and grated carrot from the broth. The dish appears on every milk-bar zupa board and is the universal Polish hangover cure. Bar Mleczny Prasowy and Familijny serve it daily, and Restauracja Polka plates the Sunday-lunch version with extra carrot and parsley.
