Keittopohjaisista

Keittopohjaisista is a Finnish adjective form meaning "broth-based" or "stock-based," used to describe foods, sauces, and other culinary preparations whose primary flavor and texture come from a broth. The term is built from keitto (soup) and pohja (base) and appears as keittopohjaisista when it refers to multiple items in a sentence or list. In Finnish culinary writing, menu descriptions, and product labeling, keittopohjaisista signals that a dish or product relies on stock as its central component.

In practice, keittopohjaisista is used to categorize dishes such as soups, sauces, and stews whose foundations are stocks rather than other bases like cream or tomato. The concept emphasizes the role of the stock in shaping flavor, mouthfeel, and appearance. It is common in traditional and contemporary Finnish cooking, where stock-based preparations are foundational for many recipes and meal components.

Common related expressions include keittopohjainen (broth-based) and liemipohjainen (stock-based). The term appears in culinary texts, recipe collections, and labeling to differentiate between stock-based preparations and those built on alternative bases. While keittopohjaisista is a grammatical form used in plural contexts, the underlying idea highlights stock as the central building block in the described dishes.
