Turning this soup into a Power Protein Potato Leek Soup :-)
How to make the Danish Kartoffel porre suppe (potato leek soup) more nutritious?
C loves this soup. But it’s mainly carbohydrates 😅
I am tearing my hair out feeding this girl🤦🏻♀️
Then an idea came to mind, I can improve the Danish soup by adding some protein.
Add some cooked minced pork or minced chicken into the soup, then blend it and strain it with a sift. And viola, you got yourself a delicious soup jammed packed with umami and protein :-)
And you can’t even taste the meat, just pure umami in a “potato”soup.
Shh 🤫… please don’t tell the Danes that I have improved the nutrition value of their traditional soup.
I thank God for giving me a difficult and fussy kid. She is a gift from God to help me scale greater heights as I find creative way to feed this soon entering to adolescence-aged child.
God has His purpose when He gives us difficulties and hardship. He is there to cheer us on, helping us to excel and giving us wholesome ideas that, for example, ahem, improve the 1000 years’ culinary civilization of the Danish kingdom of Denmark😜
