How to make Icelandic meat soup using just 6 ingredients!

lamb

🥗Healthier: chicken

💰Cheaper: pork

Chicken is leaner and more affordable than lamb.

potatoes

🥗Healthier: sweet potatoes

💰Cheaper: turnips

Sweet potatoes provide more nutrients and flavor.

herbs

🥗Healthier: dried herbs

💰Cheaper: no herbs

Dried herbs are more accessible and last longer.

Start by adding 1 to 2 liters of water into a large pot.

Add 1.5 to 2 kg of lamb meat into the cold water, ensuring the water covers the meat.

Bring the pot to a rolling boil.

Once boiling, set a timer for 45 minutes to simmer the meat.

While the meat simmers, prepare the vegetables: peel and chop the rutabaga, potatoes, and carrots.

Cut the rutabaga into bite-sized pieces, ensuring they fit on a spoon.

Peel the potatoes and remove any green spots, then dice them into spoon-sized pieces.

Chop the onion into pieces slightly larger than what you would use for a hot dog.

After 45 minutes, add the chopped vegetables to the pot with the meat.

Continue to simmer the soup until the vegetables are tender, about 30-40 minutes.
