Cold buttermilk soup

Here's a recipe for a very nice, classic Icelandic (summer) soup - previously available in large quantities for random visitors or a quick snack for hungry workers on the farm.


Ingredients for 2 people

2 Tbsp brown sugar
grated lemon peel
500 ml buttermilk
1 egg yolk

1 Tbsp whipping cream
zwieback


Preparation

First mix the sugar, grated lemon peel and egg yolk in a high saucepan.

Then pour the buttermilk over it and stir until the sugar has dissolved.

Then chill the soup in the refrigerator.

To eat, serve the soup with a tablespoon of whipped cream and rusks.
