Sauerkraut, smoked sausage and dried mushroom Christmas soup, served on Christmas Eve at every Slovak home and on the menu in Bratislava restaurants through winter.
Kapustnica is the Christmas Eve soup of Slovak tradition, codified across regional families through the 19th century and shared with Czech and Polish neighbours. The soup is the first course on Stedry vecer (Christmas Eve), built on home-pickled kraut, smoked klobasa and dried boletus mushrooms. The Slovak Tourist Board lists kapustnica among the protected regional dishes of the Bratislava and Liptov regions, alongside bryndzove halusky and lokse.
