Kulish

Kulish, also spelled Kulish, is a type of Ukrainian soup. It is traditionally a thick, hearty peasant soup, typically made with millet, potatoes, onions, and salo (cured pork fatback). Variations can include other vegetables, such as carrots, peppers, or tomatoes, and sometimes meat such as chicken or pork.

Kulish is considered a significant part of Ukrainian culinary heritage. Its simplicity and reliance on readily available ingredients made it a staple food for centuries. The specific recipe and ingredients can vary regionally, reflecting the local availability of produce and cultural preferences. Similar soups, sharing characteristics with kulish, are also found in other Eastern European cuisines.
