Instructions
- Prepare vegetables: Peel the swede, carrots, and potatoes. Cut swede and potatoes into regular cubes, slice the carrots, but keep the different vegetables separated. Chop the onions finely.
- Prepare meats: Chop the bacon into small pieces and cut the sausages into slices. Keep them separated.
- Saute: Heat lard or oil in a large soup pot. Add bacon, onions, and carrots and saute them for about 5 minutes stirring occasionally.
- Add swede and potato cubes, cook for about 2 minutes, stirring to coat them.
- Cook: Add stock, marjoram, bay leaves, salt, and pepper. Cover, and bring to a boil. Simmer for about 30 minutes until the vegetables are almost done.
- Add sausages and simmer for another 5 to 10 minutes until the vegetables are soft.
- Adjust the taste with balsamic vinegar. Start with 1 tablespoon and add more to taste. Add salt as required and add a generous amount of freshly ground black pepper; the swede soup should taste somewhat peppery.
Notes
- You can use cabanossi, kielbasa, Italian sausages, bratwurst, etc., either cured or raw. If using raw links or chopped chicken breast, make sure they are cooked through before finishing the soup.
- Use freshly ground black pepper generously; the soup should taste peppery.
