Be sure to cover vegetables with water. The bullion, 1 to each cup od water, if using Corn beef reduce the number of bullion, the soup might be too salty. You can also add some onion and garlic powder before cooking.

Thanks. My mother is Norwegian and she called it Lopskus. The basic recipe is the same only she uses one can of corn beef instead of beef. It is delicious and left overs are great.

This was really easy, BUT, I cheated. We made this recipe for meatballs a couple of days earlier for another meal, but how can two people eat that many meatballs? http://www.food.com/recipe/norwegian-meatballs-in-brown-gravy-253156 So, we halved this, added the rest of those meatballs and a bay leaf (I was shocked bay leaf wasn't in the recipe). Delicious.

I spotted this recipe back during the summer Zaar Tour and had to wait for a cold, grey, rainy day to prepare it. The soup is super easy to make however I would next time enhance the flavor by adding both dried dill and freshly ground allspice to the meatballs. Fresh, local grass-fed beef and fresh parsley from the garden were added. My husband and I ate a bowl of this soup for breakfast served with hearty bread. It thickened up nicely, too, overnight. Thanks for posting! Will make again!
