    A good Czech broth soup calls for Celestýnské noodles! Don't you know what that is? I'll tell you in today's article, plus add a simple Bohemian recipe.

    A clear soup with celestýnské nudle insert.

    What are Celestýnské nudle?

    Celestýnské nudle (noodles) are a so-called soup insert. It is a Czech savory pancake, fried on both sides in a pan. Then rolled up and cut into thin rounds placed in a bowl with a broth-based soup, e. g. beef soup.

    Celestýnské nudle are spiral-shaped and taste not only delicious in the soup but also look good. One pancake makes enough noodles for about four servings of soup.

    MY TIP: Try zelňačka, Czech sauerkraut soup (tastes divine!)

    Ingredients

    Czech celestýnské nudle - soup noodles ingredients.

    To make Czech soup noodles, we need:

    • Egg; room temperature
    • All-purpose flour
    • Oil; sunflower or canola
    • Pinch of salt

    ✅ You’ll find the exact amount of ingredients below in the recipe card, which you can also print out.

    STEP 6: Add the Celestýnské noodles to the soup dish just before serving.

    Kitchen Equipment

    I fried the pancake on a non-stick pancake pan with a diameter of 8 inches (20 cm), without adding any fat. It is already added as oil to the batter.

    Storage

    If you have any leftover noodles, store them in a covered container in a fridge for 4-5 days.

    Useful Tips

    • You can whip the noodle batter in a blender. This will make the batter perfectly smooth, without lumps.
    • Let the pancake cool down after frying. While still warm, it will not roll up; instead, it will break. Once cooled, the pancake will soften and will not break when rolled.
    • Celestýnské noodles are perfect for clear soups made from broths. They increase their nutritional value; moreover, in the soup, they look pretty nice.
