þráðsoð

þráðsoð is an Icelandic term that translates literally to "thread soup." It refers to a traditional Icelandic dish consisting of a thin, broth-based soup often containing small pieces of lamb or mutton, vegetables such as carrots and potatoes, and herbs. The "thread" aspect of the name likely comes from the way the meat and vegetables are finely cut, resembling threads or strands within the clear liquid.

Historically, þráðsoð was a way to utilize leftover meat and vegetables, making it a resourceful and economical meal. It is typically served as a light and warming dish, especially during colder months. While recipes can vary, the core elements of a clear broth and finely diced ingredients remain consistent. It is a simple yet comforting dish that reflects the culinary traditions of Iceland, emphasizing the use of readily available ingredients.
