Preparing a liquid meal.
Contexto cultural
Soup is traditionally served as the first course of lunch. It is considered essential for a 'healthy' stomach. In this region, 'Cibulynė' (onion soup) is a traditional dish often prepared for Christmas Eve. It is one of the few soups that is not 'virta' in the traditional sense but prepared with cold water and charred herring. Soup is a staple of the 'Dienos pietūs' (Daily Lunch) menu in almost every cafe in Vilnius and Kaunas. There are many sayings about soup, such as 'Kokia sriuba, toks ir darbas' (As the soup is, so is the work), implying that a good meal leads to good results.
The Accusative Rule

Cold Soup Exception
