About the dish

The third of Erken's tomato soup variants in the soup chapter of Stor kokebok (1914). Here the soup is made entirely without a thickening – the tomatoes are cooked down with ham, onion and celery and pressed into a purée that is thinned with meat stock.

How to make it

  1. 1

    Sweat ham and vegetables

    Melt the butter in a pot and stir in the ham, onion and celery – everything except the tomatoes and the stock.

  2. 2

    Add the tomatoes

    After 5 minutes, add the tomatoes, cut into slices, to the pot.

  3. 3

    Let it simmer

    Let the soup simmer gently until the tomatoes are completely cooked down.

  4. 4

    Press to a purée

    Press the mixture through a fine sieve or food mill.

  5. 5

    Boil with the stock

    Mix the purée with the meat stock and let it boil for 5 minutes. Season to taste with salt, pepper and sugar.

Changes from the original

Quantities have been converted to modern units (liters, grams) and "kjøtkraft" has been called meat stock/bouillon. The method has been divided into numbered steps, otherwise unchanged.
