- CSMastermind 7y agoI'm curious how they determine the 'Most Popular'.
- reitoei 7y agoBased on traffic to the site over a period of time, like pretty much every other 'Most Popular' algo.
- severine 7y agoYummy. It would be great to add a filter to show only the ones that include a detailed recipe, though.
- telesilla 7y agoAlso those that can be made vegetarian. So many look delicious and could be prepared with a protein substitute.
- oblio 7y agoThis one is a pretty solid vegetarian soup: https://www.tasteatlas.com/ciorba-de-loboda https://www.tasteatlas.com/ciorba-de-loboda This video, despite the annoying voice, describes it and its ingredients, I think it should be easy enough to follow: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OSnXUxXC0_E https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OSnXUxXC0_E (it's actually "ciorba de stevie" but it's basically the same thing) Loboda is this thing: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atriplex_hortensis https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atriplex_hortensis I Imagine you can use regular spinach if you don't have it.
- Numberwang 7y agoGreat site, but I found a bug. Swedish Ärtsoppa has 3.5 average out of 5. Surely that should be 5.5?
- CrLf 7y agoI’m not sure many people in Portugal would call “açorda" a soup. The most common variety has the consistency of mashed potatoes and is either a course in itself (when mixed with prawns, for example) or used as a side for meat.
- dmos62 7y agoI think it's fine to consider these overalapping sets. Then we don't have to argue over edge cases.
- jevgeni 7y agoBorscht classified as a Ukrainian dish. Good. As it should be.
- phillc73 7y agoWhat's your stance on rassolnik?
- jevgeni 7y agoThe only front of the geopolitical soup wars I'm dying on, is the borscht front. :D
- aquadrop 7y agoI think it's a shared dish between Russia and Ukraine, but Russia already had solyanka on this site :)
- aasasd 7y agoAfaik there are at least dozen or two different recipes of borscht in Eastern Europe. In fact, just a map of them and spellings of ‘borschtsch’ would make for an interesting resource. BTW, borscht was originally made with hogweed, which is where the name comes from. The beetroots variant is a later development, though it has now practically replaced the original.
- iagooar 7y agoBarszcz is one of the most traditional Polish foods as well. I guess it's a slavic thing.
- pjmlp 7y agoSo we got a couple of food chains that are all about soups as main courses and they only manage to find out "Açorda"? Anyway, nice overview, as starting point.
- pellucidar 7y agoThey also think caldo verde was invented after 1935.
- pdamoc 7y agoIn Romania, we make a clear distinction between Supa, Ciorba and Bors. Supa (Soup) is the un-soured base, Ciorba is sour (usually soured with lemon) and Bors (Borscht) is soured with an wheat bran based fermented liquid by the same name. :)
- nkrisc 7y agoI've never had Romanian food but you piqued my interest now.
- oblio 7y agoIt's probably hard to find, depending on where you live. I'd personally recommend the "ciorba de perisoare" (soup with meatballs) "ciorba de fasole cu afumatura" (bean soup with pork) and "ciorba de burta" (if you're willing to have an open mind when trying it, the taste is very good; it's tripe soup).
- iagooar 7y agoIn Poland we have zupa (soup), barszcz (borscht) and flaki (which is similar to your ciorba I think).
- eithed 7y agoAdditionally, in Poland, by my count there're at least four different soups made from beetroot - barszcz czerwony (eaten traditionally with "uszka" dumplings, without sour cream), barszcz ukrainski (eaten with vegetables and beans), chlodnik (cold soup, eaten with cream) and another barszcz czerwony (hot soup, eaten with cream). Poland has LOTS of soups
- tomaszs 7y agoAnd also barszcz biały, litewski, francuski, jabłkowy, ogórkowy and of course, the most important: barszcz do picia :)
- 7y ago
- anentropic 7y agoI'm hungry now
- forlorn 7y agoI love it! But in addition of 'Where to eat' I'd like to know 'How to make'.
- Eupolemos 7y agoMaybe I'm wooshing here, but there's a tab called "Recipe" ;) Edit: Ah - I just noticed, it is only there on some.
- iagooar 7y agoI can't believe it hasn't listed the Polish "żur" (or "żurek"). It is a soup made of soured rye flour, served in a bread bowl. Utterly delicious. For me it is, by far, the best traditional Polish dish (and soup). Here you can read more about it: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/West_Slavic_fermented_cereal_soups https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/West_Slavic_fermented_cereal_s... Edit: I found it on their website, but it's missing on the map: https://www.tasteatlas.com/zurek https://www.tasteatlas.com/zurek Edit2: Thanks for pointing out that I can click on the number directly. Not too intuitive, but zurek is there!
- felipelemos 7y agoIt's in the map for me.
- Majestic121 7y agoIt's on the map, but you have to click on the little 20 in the upper right of Warsaw
- deleted 7y ago[deleted]
- rgovostes 7y agoCame here to post the same thing. Żurek is phenomenal and Polish cuisine is among the best, and most underrated. Recipes online say you need to make a fermented starter liquid called zakwas, which is allegedly sold pre-made in Polish grocery stores. But I could not find it for sale online. There are instant żurek mixes on Amazon, though, and a few packets are now on their way.
- dougmwne 7y agoPolish cuisine really is amazing. My favorite cold summer soup is Chłodnik, a bright pink creamy beet soup with farm-fresh hard boiled eggs and young potatoes on the side. Borowikowa is a hot mushroom soup made from wild Porcini mushrooms gathered in the fall mushroom-hunting season with an incredibly rich taste. The Poles take ingredient quality very seriously and have so many awesome food traditions, plus are getting much better at reproducing other culture's cuisines, I think mainly due to open EU borders giving a lot of restaurateurs working experience outside the country.
- peterwwillis 7y agoThis is amazing!! Exactly the kind of thing i've been looking for to find new regional dishes. But like others mentioned, it's lacking a lot of entries. Does anyone know how to submit dishes?
- lawlessone 7y agoMight have been able to include Irish Stew, and Coddle for Ireland. Both are more stews.. but several other things already on this map are more like stews.
- bazzargh 7y agoThey're both there, but under Stews. https://www.tasteatlas.com/Stews https://www.tasteatlas.com/Stews ...I grew up eating Irish Stew and thought of it more as a soup too
- Aardwolf 7y agoMissing lots of very basic but good soups (then again, the search doesn't work well, returning "categories", "events" and "restaurants" rather than soups by keyword): tomato soup with little meat balls pumpkin soup mixed vegetable soup shrimp soup, fish soup, lobster soup asparagus cream soup spinach soup
- deleted 7y ago[deleted]
- twic 7y agoThe iconography is a bit variable. London is represented by the arms of the Greater London Council, which were granted in 1966, and which was abolished in 1986. The soups look good though!
- platz 7y agoWhat's with the low Russia scores
- 9nGQluzmnq3M 7y agoNice idea, but the implementation is not great: many places have multiple soups superimposed, but only one is even shown if you click and there's no way to "expand" a cluster. If you want the full list for a country, you need to browse the pictures by location. https://www.tasteatlas.com/europe/soups?orderby=location https://www.tasteatlas.com/europe/soups?orderby=location
- saberdancer 7y agoIf you click on a number it expands the list.
- nabla9 7y agoSwedish ärtsoppa and Finnish hernekeitto are the same thing.
- Forester06 7y agoWhere is the Turkiye's soups. Tarhana Soup is an Anatolian soup. http://www.turkishfoodandrecipes.com/2009/11/tarhana-soup-tarhana-corbasi.html http://www.turkishfoodandrecipes.com/2009/11/tarhana-soup-ta... An other Turkiye's soups are here.. http://www.turkishfoodandrecipes.com/search/label/soups http://www.turkishfoodandrecipes.com/search/label/soups
- brummm 7y agoIt's missing green cabbage stew in northern Germany. One of the best things ever
- riffraff 7y agothis looks interesting, but I just want to say there are a couple dozen variations of fish soup in Italy, I'm not sure why they don't show up :)
- JoeAltmaier 7y agoOh! I thought it would be a map in culinary space of soup varieties. So if wanted a sour winter soup without meat, I'd find a cluster of those somewhere in a 3D space...
- esquire_900 7y agoVery nice product (not just the soups), it's interesting to get a "flavor map" like this , and brings back memories of places once visited!
- jansan 7y agoMy favorite, the north German "Hochzeitssuppe" (wedding soup) is missing. It even has a Wikipedia entry: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hochzeitssuppe https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hochzeitssuppe Just the best thing you can eat on a rainy cold November day.
- jannes 7y agoIt's not missing, the UX is just bad. Hochzeitssuppe expands if you click on Nudelsuppe while you are at the map's maximum zoom setting.
- RobertRoberts 7y agoShould add Irish Guiness beef stew (also called Irish stew/beef stew?)
- tasssko 7y agoIf you are ever in Greece and want a delicious rich soup I reccomend Avgolemono[1]. 1. https://www.tasteatlas.com/avgolemono https://www.tasteatlas.com/avgolemono
- aloukissas 7y ago+10000 (super biased) for avgolemono -- one of those foods that I despised as a child but came to love as an adult.
- ben174 7y agoLooks delicious. Seems there's a place in SF that makes it: https://kokkari.com https://kokkari.com
- brokenkebab 7y agoWith a few well-known* exceptions it's a very risky idea to attribute any particular dish to a particular country. I'm from Eastern Europe, and can say almost any attribution can and will be disputed here :-) And situation can be farther complicated by the fact that same names are often used for different dishes. * - And even those are disputed from time to time.
- fimdomeio 7y agoWell I think we could make a list kind of "Falsehoods people believe about culinary". A dish with the same name can also mean different things in different names. Açorda in Portugal, always has bread, but depending on where in Portugal you are can mean a soup that you pour over a piece of bread or smashed bread with shrimps
- dzhiurgis 7y agoBiriyani, paella and plov is basically same (yet tastes very different). What I’m interested in is why most soups in Eastern Europe are stock/“bullion” style while in west they are more like goulash/curry/gravy?
- brokenkebab 7y agoI believe it's just a classification difference. In some cultures a soup is soup when it's liquid. A gravy-style dish can exist, no problem, but will not be recognized as soup then.
- aloukissas 7y agoNoted that solyanka spans a big chunk of eastern European countries. E.g. it's a staple in Latvia (probably from USSR influence).
- sanqui 7y agoToo bad the information on this website isn't open data (like OpenStreetMap). I'd love to contribute otherwise.
- MichaelMoser123 7y agoAs for Russia they would need to add щи/shchi https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shchi https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shchi Щи да каша пища наша. Don't know how to translate that one properly:-) Also there is the wikipedia reference, who would have guessed that soups come in lists? https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_soups https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_soups
- aaaaaar 7y agoIt's already on there. Only 2.4 stars though :)
