Polish tripe soup is one of the most popular dishes in Poland. Every housewife has a slightly different flaki recipe. Today, I am sharing with you the most popular Polish tripe soup recipe that includes veggies, beef bones, and tripe.
Not every Pole likes flaczki. The dish has a specific flavor that for some may be too strong. When it comes to me, I don’t mind eating Polish tripe soup, however, it’s definitely not my favorite food.

Cook The Broth Slowly.
Flaczki’s base is a beef broth. The longer and slower it cooks, the better the taste. Check out my rosol recipe if you want to read more about cooking broth.
Rinse/Scald The Tripe More Than Once If Necessary.
If your tripe is smelly after scalding it with hot water, repeat until the unpleasant smell disappears completely.
Cook The Vegetarian/ Vegan Version If You Want.
It’s very easy to cook vegetarian flaki. Simply don’t add the bones to the broth and replace tripe with oyster mushrooms.
Use Pork Tripe If You Want.
Although beef tripe soup is more popular, you may also use pork tripe and bones to make this soup.
Serve It Solo Or With Bread
Bread is the most popular add-on to the flaki soup.
