Soup served at a high temperature.
Contexto cultural
Soup is considered the 'pirmas patiekalas' (first course) and is essential for a complete lunch. Skipping it is often seen as not having a 'proper' meal. In this western region of Lithuania, soups are often heartier and may include more sour cream (grietinė) and fat. This region is known for its variety of flour-based soups and dumplings in hot broth. In cities like Vilnius, 'trinta sriuba' (pureed soup) has become a trendy version of the traditional 'karšta sriuba'.
The Genitive Rule
When ordering or saying you want soup, always use 'karštos sriubos'. It's the most common mistake for beginners!
Temperature Warning
Lithuanians often serve soup extremely hot. Always blow on your spoon before taking a sip!
