Albumeihin

Albumeihin is a traditional Finnish dish that has been a staple in Finnish cuisine for centuries. The name "albumeihin" comes from the Swedish word "albumin," which refers to the white of an egg. The dish is a creamy, savory soup made from egg whites, milk, and various ingredients such as potatoes, carrots, and onions. It is often served as a hearty meal, particularly during the colder months.

The preparation of albumeihin involves cooking the egg whites until they thicken, creating a smooth and creamy base for the soup. This is then combined with milk and other vegetables, which are cooked until tender. The soup is typically seasoned with salt, pepper, and sometimes a pinch of nutmeg for added flavor. Some variations of the dish may include additional ingredients like bacon or mushrooms.

Albumeihin is often served with crusty bread or boiled potatoes on the side. It is a comforting and nourishing dish that reflects the simplicity and warmth of Finnish home cooking. The dish is not only a culinary delight but also a testament to the resourcefulness of Finnish people in creating meals from readily available ingredients.
