Czech Broccoli & White Bean Soup with Garlic Naan Croutons – Brokolicová Polévka
Czechia – A Country with a Rich Soup Tradition Czechia, also known as the Czech Republic, lies in the heart of Central Europe and is famous for its historic cities, rolling countryside and hearty culinary traditions. Soups, known as polévky, play an important role in Czech home cooking and are frequently served as the first course of a traditional meal. Potatoes, root vegetables, legumes, garlic and aromatic herbs are common ingredients, while marjoram, or majoránka, is one of the country's characteristic soup seasonings. What Is Brokolicová Polévka s Bílými Fazolemi? Brokolicová polévka means broccoli soup, while bílé fazole are white beans. This Via Veggie Vegan creation brings these ingredients together in a creamy, satisfying soup inspired by Czech home cooking. White beans provide natural creaminess, nutritional yeast adds savoury depth, and garlic croutons – česnekové krutony – deliver a wonderfully crispy contrast. Instead of using fresh bread, my version gives leftover homemade naan a delicious second life.
