Haustsúpa

Autumn soup with minced meat

It is now really autumn. The sheep roundups are over, the animals are back in the pastures on the farms or on the way to the butcher. The supplies for the winter are being prepared. The Icelandic cuisine in autumn is in accordance with this - for example, a typical Icelandic autumn soup consists of minced meat, with or without bacon, chopped tomatoes, broth and lots of vegetables and potatoes.

I brought you a recipe for such an autumn soup ( haustsúpa ) today. The soup is then served with a dollop of sour cream and herbs.
