Ciorbă rădăuțeană is the chicken version of Romanian sour soup, originally a Rădăuți specialty: chicken breast in lemon-and-cream soured broth with garlic and parsley, the lighter cousin of ciorbă de burtă.
Created in the 1970s by chef Cornel Pătrăuceanu of the Hotel Nordic restaurant in Rădăuți (north Romania), as a chicken-based alternative for diners squeamish about tripe. The dish spread south through restaurant menus and became a national Romanian sour-soup classic, with Bucharest restaurants picking it up by the 1990s.
