Ciorba de burta

One of the most popular first courses in Romania, Ciorba de burta (Tripe soup) is known to be a great remedy for hangovers and it’s definitely a favourite amongst locals. Made with boiled beef tripe and vegetables and served with sour cream, vinegar and mujdei (a traditional garlic paste), this soup is sour, spicy and has the velvety texture that will make you love it or hate it. Similar to Tripe Soup is Ciorba Radauteana (Radauti soup), a lighter sour soup made with chicken.
