Norwegian vegetable soup (traditional method & Thermomix)
Description
Very different from the soups I usually make, this Norwegian vegetable soup is perfect for a cosy dinner with friends. Mild and nourishing, it can be enjoyed as a vegetarian dish or enriched with prawns or fish (such as salmon) for a more substantial meal. A real treat from the North, simple to make and wonderfully warming.
