This is my Баба’s old recipe. It’s the Halychan style of the Polish soup rosoł. This dish was once popular in Halychyna (western Ukraine), but fell out of popularity after WWII with the decline of Polish influence. It is still very popular in the Ukrainian diaspora.
Ukrainians today would typically call this soup бульйон (bouillon), although the two are distinct.
