The winter has finally decided to let everybody know about itself. Day after day it has simply become cold. It comes as no surprise. After all, it is January. This kind of weather could have started over a month ago. I don't like extreme weather. I definitely prefer a temperate climate. I like a not too hot summer and a not so frosty winter. Snow is overrated, and I would like to see it only in the mountains and city parks.

However, since we do have such a climate, we should rescue ourselves somehow. Today my proposal is for an especially tasty and warming horseradish soup. I found an inspiring recipe in the online Lidl cookery book. The soup is flavorsome and the decoration of chives could be a shy invitation for spring to come. Ok, I exaggerated a little with the idea of spring in January, but you should try the soup.

Ingredients:

6 potatoes

2 stock cubes

1 onion

2 cloves of garlic

3 tablespoons of horseradish

160g of Parma ham

1 teaspoon of marjoram

100ml of heavy cream

1 tablespoon of butter

4 eggs

2 tablespoons of chives

salt and pepper

Prepare some stock with 1.5 l of water and the stock cubes.

Dice the Parma ham and onion and fry them in the butter. Add the mixture to the stock. Don't clean the pan, and fry the sliced garlic and peeled and diced potatoes in it. Fry for a while and then add to the stock. Spice it up with the marjoram and boil for 30 minutes. Add the cream, horseradish, salt and pepper and boil once again. Serve with hard-boiled egg and minced chives.

Enjoy your meal!
