About Kjötsúpa
Krónan’s Icelandic kjötsúpa combines lamb soup meat with carrots, swede and onion. It is a named local version of the lamb-and-root-vegetable soup described as a classic by Iceland Food Centre.
Soup herbs, salt and pepper season the broth around the lamb and vegetables. Rice, bacon, cabbage, potatoes and vegetable-stock cubes are all explicitly optional in Krónan’s ingredient list.
The ingredients cook together in water after the meat comes to the boil and the surface is skimmed. The finished dish remains a substantial meat-and-vegetable soup, with no particular garnish or separate accompaniment prescribed.
