About Cesnecka

Cesnecka, or Czech garlic soup, is a traditional dish originating from the Czech Republic. This savory, comforting soup is typically made with a base of broth, garlic, potatoes, caraway seeds, and marjoram, often enriched with bread cubes and sometimes topped with shredded cheese or sliced sausage. Known for its bold garlic flavor, Cesnecka is revered for its immune-boosting properties due to garlic's natural health benefits, which include antifungal and antibacterial qualities. The addition of potatoes and broth provides a hearty dose of nutrients, including vitamins and minerals. While it’s generally low in calories, the inclusion of cheese and sausage can increase the fat and sodium content, depending on the recipe. Cesnecka is commonly enjoyed as a warming meal or even as a hangover remedy, combining tradition with a nutrient-dense profile that makes it a cherished staple of Czech cuisine.
