...a few more pics
overview
lets get a bit closer
never forget the essential proof pic....
To add a bit of crunch I made toaste ryebread with typical danish toppings ... the toasted ryebread gets very crispy
I toasted it in the oven
this I did while the soup was boiling...
Prepare your toppings
toasts
load them up... the cream on top of each is a mic of mayonaise and sourcream... seasoned to taste
Toast 1
tomatoes and red onions
Toast 2
potatoes and chives
Toast 3
Eggs and black olives
If you don't like the toppings the bread also goes well without toppings and will provide a good contrast to the soup ...
So this was my dish with a little danish special added on
We all enjoyed it ... since my dad and my daughter do not believe in moving out of their comfort zones ... there were only Scallops and salmon roe for me hihi .... they have no clue on what they are missing out on ... a real delight of a dish ... the jerusalem artichokes really elevate the potato soup to another level in the taste department ...
