About the dish

Brun kålsuppe får sin dype smak og farge av kål som brunes langsomt i smør og sukker før den kokes ut i kjøttkraft. Retten står i suppekapittelet i Henriette Schønberg Erken og Caroline Steens «Kogebog for skole og hjem» (1900), og forslaget om å legge i pølseskiver gjør den til et fullverdig måltid.

Frequently asked questions

The browning lightly caramelises the cabbage and gives the soup a deeper colour and a sweetish, rounded flavour.
What is served in the soup?
