Рецепт Klassisk klar suppe med melboller og grøntsager (Clear soup with dumplings and vegetables) #SoupSaturdaySwappers

by Sid's Sea Palm Cooking

You ever get a craving for a soup from your childhood? I did awhile back and made Melboller, and then I decided I wanted a good, hearty vegetable soup. Mom used to make a soup for dinner but it was served a little differently than most soups.  We'd get a big bowl of broth with some dumplings (Melboller) floating on top, and then would be served the meat and other vegetables the soup was cooked with on a separate plate.  And if she cooked a chicken to make the stock, she would frequently serve the chicken the next day for our meal.    When soup was served this way, it was probably to fill you up a little before the main course. It works.  Now, I always wanted more of the dumplings when mom made this soup, they were my favorite part and I didn't really care about the rest of the stuff.  I could and did, make a meal of just the broth and dumplings.  When I could get away with it. Which wasn't often, sigh. I made a couple of pork roasts a couple of weeks back, froze the bones from the roasts and decided that they would make a nice base for a soup.  I added some dried minced onion, an onion, carrots, and a couple of cloves of garlic.   Then I let it simmer for a couple of few hours.   I I pulled out the pork bones, took the meat off of them, then added the bones back to the soup and let them simmer a little longer. I then strained out the broth, reserving the carrots and onions.  I threw a couple of red skinned potatoes in and then because I happened to run across some parsnips recently so I threw them into the broth just til they were cooked through and then took them out and let them rest with the carrots and onions while the potato finished cooking.  I then added a Leek, sliced in 1/2 inch pieces, and let it cook til it was just done, I also had a sad looking yellow squash so it got chopped and thrown in at the last minute as well.  Then I had fun... I made some Melboller,  It's also my entry for Soup Saturday Swappers hosted this month by Kathy of A Spoonful of Thyme with the theme of International Soups.  I have to admit to not having to go too far to find an international soup to make.   I just made a favorite from my Danish childhood.
