Brúnkálssúpa

Browned cabbage soup


Yes, I know - this is cabbage soup. That doesn't sound sexy, it smells like it's cooking, it doesn't look particularly good and it automatically makes me think of the "cabbage soup diet". But, seriously - it tastes damn good!

I served the soup (really classic Icelandic home cooking, the recipe comes from an 80-year-old Icelandic cookbook!) to my family for dinner - the little one is a passionate soup fan anyway, but the older one is also cautious about the soup approached, opened his eyes wide and expressly found it “really delicious”. Oh yes, that makes you happy!


Ingredients for 4 servings

1 head of white cabbage
3 Tbsp margarine
1 Tbsp sugar
1 l hot meat broth
2 carrots
Salt and pepper to taste
1 - 2 Tbsp smoked ham, if desired


Preparation

Clean the head and chop it finely.


Put the margarine and sugar in a large pot and brown slowly.

Add the chopped cabbage and sauté until lightly browned.


Clean, peel and chop the carrots. Add the carrots to the cabbage.


Then pour the hot meat broth over it and let everything simmer for about 45 minutes.


Then season with salt and pepper to taste, and if desired add 1-2 tablespoons of chopped smoked ham.


Well then - enjoy the food! Njóttu matarins!
