Köttsoppa

Köttsoppa is a classic Swedish soup that is both hearty and delicious, perfect for warming you up on a chilly day. The primary ingredient is typically beef, often chuck, but you can also prepare it using pork, reindeer, or even moose if you're feeling adventurous. The broth is rich and flavorful, crafted by simmering bones.

The soup is brimming with root vegetables such as carrots, potatoes, celeriac, parsnips, turnips, and rutabaga, which impart a wonderful depth of flavor. To enhance the taste even further, leeks, peppercorns, and bay leaves are often added. Everything is chopped into small, bite-sized pieces and boiled until tender.

For an extra touch, Köttsoppa is sometimes served with klimp, delightful little dumplings made from wheat, milk, and egg. These dumplings, roughly the size of ping pong balls, add a lovely texture to the soup. Enjoy a bowl of Köttsoppa for an authentic taste of traditional Swedish comfort food!
