Soup’s On! Polívkování Soup Festival Returns to Prague on March 2nd

Soup festival will take place at Smíchovská náplavka on March 2nd.

“Polívkování” (the name comes from Polívka = a soup) offers a huge variety of soups from around the world.

You can taste Czech soups such as potato cream, kulajda or tripe soup but mainly soups from all over the world such as Russian borscht, Mexican chipotle and menudo, Malaysian laksa, French bouillabaisse, Vietnamese pho, Japanese ramen.

Veggie lovers can look forward to vegetable soups and other vegetarian recipes. There will be an option to buy some freshly baked pastry and something to drink like hot ciders, wines, and Czech beers.

And if the soup is not enough by itself, you can taste crispy rolls, fresh homemade bread, and other savory pastries. Drinks include warm cider, apple juice, mulled wine, and draft beer. To finish your experience, you can choose from a variety of sweet treats and delicious coffees.

‘Kuchařky bez domova’ (The homeless cooks) will also prepare a fantastic meal at the festival. These women may not have a home, but they enjoy cooking and want to share their art with others.

This project aims to raise awareness of the issue of female homelessness by employing and supporting women in social distress, connecting those with and without homes to create a more equal space, and finally, using up fruit and vegetables that would otherwise be thrown away.
