Bergen-style creamy cod soup with vegetables, fishballs and shrimp.
About Bergensk fiskesuppe
Melk.no’s Bergensk fiskesuppe combines cod, homemade fishballs and shrimp in a creamy vegetable soup. The base is a strained stock made from cod trimmings and aromatic vegetables.
Milk enriches the fishballs, while whipping cream and rich sour cream give the soup its dairy character. Vinegar supplies acidity beside carrot, leek and celeriac.
The fishballs and cod pieces sit among the cut vegetables in deep bowls. Shrimp finish the surface, with fresh bread served alongside the thickened soup.
