Ørkdalssodd

Ørkdalssodd is a traditional soup originating from Orkdal in Trøndelag county. The soup is made with a combination of water, sliced lamb (breast or shoulder), rice, carrots, cabbage, salt, and minced onions. The meat is first placed into cold water, brought to a boil, and the impurities are skimmed off the surface before the water is seasoned with salt. The meat is simmered until tender, and the stock is then enriched with whole carrots, minced onions, and cabbage wedges. The combination is simmered until the rice becomes tender. The meat and vegetables are arranged on a serving platter, then served with the soup and boiled potatoes.
