About the dish

Köttsoppa is a hearty meat and vegetable soup that is commonly served in Sweden for lunch or dinner. The usual ingredients for its preparation include boiled meat, typically beef, chopped carrots, onions, parsnip, celery, and leeks, cooked in a pot and seasoned with thyme, white peppercorns, bay leaves, parsley, and salt. Normally served with plain, boiled potatoes and horseradish sauce, this flavorful soup is considered a variation of pot-au-feu . The dish is commonly eaten in Finland and Iceland as well. In Iceland, the traditional meat soup called kjötsúpa is a variation of this soup that calls for lamb instead of beef.
