What does a soup bundle consist of?

30 g parsley, a little celery leaf, 1 small sprig of thyme and 1 small bay leaf.

Why should the string be dipped in boiling water?

The recipe directs that the string first be dipped in boiling water before the herbs are tied together — this way the thread is clean before it goes into the soup.

How is the soup bundle used?

The herbs are cleaned and tied together into a bouquet with string, so it can easily be put into the soup and taken out again after cooking. The recipe is from Henriette Schønberg Erken's "Stor kokebok" (1914), p. 35.
