About the dish

A refined, clear chicken soup with a three-colored forcemeat-dumpling garnish — a typical dinner-party touch in Erken's soup chapter from 1914.

How to make it

  1. 1

    Divide the forcemeat

    Divide the chicken forcemeat into three equal parts. Mix the chopped tongue into one, the chicken meat into the second, and the spinach purée into the third.

  2. 2

    Shape the dumplings

    Shape small dumplings from each forcemeat. Let them poach gently in the stock for 5 minutes, or poach them in the oven.

  3. 3

    Oven poaching

    To poach them, pipe the forcemeat with a piping bag or paper cone straight down onto buttered white paper laid on a buttered tray. Cover the dumplings with buttered paper and set them in a moderately hot oven (about 175 °C (345 °F)) for 5 minutes.

  4. 4

    Arrange

    Place the dumplings in the soup tureen together with the cooked green peas and the chopped chervil or parsley.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Pour the boiling chicken stock over and serve at once.

Changes from the original

Tablespoons and grams are kept as modern measures, the forcemeat is specified as chicken forcemeat, and the method is broken into numbered steps in modern Norwegian. The oven temperature for oven poaching is not given in the original and is estimated at moderate heat (about 175 °C (345 °F)).
