I greatly enjoy this site. Mt grandparents were from Slovakia and I love these recipes. This soup turned out great. I used some leftover frozen ham from Christmas instead of bacon.

Does anyone have a recipe for Beans and Lechke? It’s a lima bean soup with onions and tiny square egg noodles. We would add vinegar as well. My grandmother and mother made this when I was younger. My grandmother came from Michalovce.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

John

Názvy slovenských jedál uvedených v zátvorke po anglickom názve nie sú písané gramaticky správne. Slovencina, na rozdiel od iných jazykov (anglictina, nemcina atd.) pouzíva velké písmeno len na zaciatku a teda napr.: Kyslá Fazuľová Polievka gramaticky správne je: Kyslá fazuľová polievka. Bolo by vhodné opravit vsetky takto nesprávne uvedené slovenské názvy vo Vasej web stránke (tento príklad “Kyslá Fazuľová Polievka” som vybral náhodne).
Dakujem za pochopenie.

You remembered almost right, Cynthia. The word is lokše, pronounced lok-SHE. Here is a recipe for lokshe as prepared by my grandma.

Growing up in Duquesne, Pennsylvania, my Slovak grandmother (Ceta) made this delicious soup often but it was ALWAYS accompanied with something I can’t spell but was pronounced luk-shaw. Simply made of leftover mashed potatoes mixed with flour and rolled into approx. 8-10 inch circles. They were cooked on the bottom of a dry skillet until brown spots appeared and flipped then brushed with melted butter and served next to the sour bean soup. As a kid they were soooo delish dipped into the tangy soup. Anyone remember??
