Nunna, also known as "nunna" or "nunna," is a traditional Finnish dish. It is a hearty and comforting soup made primarily from lamb or mutton, root vegetables, and potatoes. The meat is typically simmered for a long time to tenderize it and create a rich broth. Common vegetables included are carrots, parsnips, and rutabaga, all diced or cut into chunks. Potatoes are a staple, adding to the thickness and substance of the soup.

Its rustic nature and use of readily available ingredients have made it a staple in many households. The dish is known for its warming qualities and its ability to provide sustenance.
