veselka’s cabbage soup
introduced me to this soup. I think it was July 2007 and she’d gathered a bunch of food bloggers at , a Ukranian diner in the East Village famous for serving awesome beer-blotting food like borsht, stuffed cabbage and pierogis around the clock. It was hot and humid out, however, so the thought of anything besides a grilled kielbasa, pickles and a cold beer seemed insane, and yet there was our host, ordering cabbage soup.
