About the dish

Pinaattikeitto is a traditional soup originating from Finland. The soup is usually made with a combination of spinach, butter, flour, milk, salt, sugar, white pepper, and hard-boiled eggs. The flour is cooked in butter and mixed with milk. The mixture is simmered and whisked until the mixture becomes thick. Spinach is added to the pot and more milk is added to the mixture, which is constantly stirred so that it doesn’t stick to the bottom of the pot. The seasonings are added to the soup, and it’s then served hot with boiled egg halves on top.
