lisasoojust

Lisasoojust, also known as lisasojust, is a traditional dish originating from the Baltic region, particularly Estonia and Latvia. It is a hearty soup made from a combination of pork and beef bones, along with various vegetables and spices. The name "lisasoojust" translates to "pork and beef broth" in English.

The soup is typically prepared by simmering the bones with vegetables such as potatoes, carrots, onions, and sometimes cabbage or beets. The broth is then seasoned with spices like black pepper, bay leaves, and sometimes cloves or cinnamon. The soup is often served with a side of boiled potatoes or noodles, and can be garnished with fresh herbs like parsley or dill.

Lisasoojust is a staple in the diets of the Baltic region, particularly during colder months. It is known for its rich flavor and comforting properties, making it a popular choice for meals and gatherings. The soup is also a common ingredient in other Baltic dishes, such as the traditional Estonian dish "kapsasupp" (cabbage soup), where lisasoojust is used as the base.

Despite its regional popularity, lisasoojust has gained recognition beyond the Baltic region, with variations of the soup appearing in other countries. However, the traditional recipe remains a beloved and iconic dish in Estonia and Latvia.
