Mjólkursúpa

Milksoup


I was actually looking for vegetarian soup recipes online in an old Icelandic cookbook from 1891 - but that's not that easy, even the vegetable soups back then were actually all made from meat stock. But I came across this recipe for milk soup - again with plenty of meat in the soup.

Traditionally, this soup is prepared with salt kjöt, i.e. fresh salt meat. Since there is no comparable salted meat to buy here in Germany, you can make do with cured pork tenderloin, which is the closest thing to the original.


Ingredients for 4 persons

400 ml milk
600 ml water
800 g raw smoked pork
120 g flour
60 g rice
1/2 tsp dried thyme


Preparation

Bring the milk and water to the boil in a large pot.

Cut the smoked pork into bite-sized pieces.


When the mixture boils, add the pieces of meat, as well as the flour and rice...


...stir thoroughly again and again and simmer for about 20 minutes until the meat and rice are nice and soft.


Sprinkle with some dried thyme and serve.

Bon appetit!
