Recipes, recipes - calling for Finnish recipes!

Recipes, recipes - calling for Finnish recipes!

We realized that we now have enough recipes on our website to warrant some reorganization! There is a new way to navigate our Finnish recipe page. We finally remembered to add the two newest soup recipes - that we blogged about way back in September - to our main recipe navigation page. Thanks to those of you who have shared some soup recipes of your own! We will plan to do another soup recipe release sometime in the beginning of 2024.

What recipes would you like us to research and post to our page?

Soup season - keittokausi

Soup season - keittokausi

Fall has barely started and it is already offering perfect conditions for soup. I would not have even considered making soup even a few days ago and I also may not want to be making any this weekend - it is supposed to get to 80°F (~27°C) here in Minneapolis. Today, however, my mind has been flooded with all kinds of soups to look forward to as the weather turns and stays cold. When I lived in Finland, the soups I remember having went beyond the often sited Lohikeitto (Salmon Soup) and Hernekeitto (Pea Soup). At the University of Oulu and University of Tampere, the student cafeteria often served a wide range of soups including the aforementioned Finnish staples, as well as varieties like carrot, carrot ginger, spinach, potato, beef stew, hotdog soup, even berry and mixed fruit varieties.

Recipe request

Recipe request

After I posted two new recipes to the site a few weeks ago, I noticed that they were very appreciated. That got me thinking that it might be nice to solicite recipes from our online community to help build out our recipe section. Also, to add a place on our site for people to request particular recipes. So, I set about this task this week to see it through — oh the joys of being able to manage the website simply and independently from my phone or computer!

So, what would you like to see added to the Luumu recipe section, even if you don't have a recipe for it yourself yet? Or do you have a recipe to share?
