Kjotsupa Traditional Icelandic Lamb & Vegetable Soup

Kjotsupa Traditional Icelandic Lamb & Vegetable Soup

This lamb soup is a traditional food in Iceland. This dish dates all the way back to the year 900, when Iceland was first settled by Norse settlers. This is a hearty, nourishing stew that’s simple and delicious. Perfect for cold weather and it becomes even more tasty after a day or two, so don’t hesitate to make a big batch! I used chopped lamb shoulder, but often kjotsupa is made with bone-in cuts for the rich flavor and added nutritional value. You could definitely make this with lamb chops if you’d like to have the bone intact.

Most of the early settlers of Iceland were fleeing the tyrannical king of Norway. These Vikings were expert seafarers and seasoned fishermen. Upon discovering Iceland for the first time, they believed it was the land of the gods. This simple and nourishing meal combined fresh fish with the bounty of the unique land that they made their home. Ancient Iceland was abundant and teeming with game and natural resources. Kjotsupa was the perfect thing to enjoy after a hard days work and to celebrate new beginnings.


The Best Tasting & Most Ethically Sourced Lamb


Our lamb is raised on the North Island of New Zealand, in the incredibly beautiful foothills of Mount Ruapehu. The lambs are born and live their lives freely roaming the lush green landscape. These animals are raised by the Maori people native to New Zealand, and have been bred for generations for extraordinary taste and quality. They graze on verdant green grass rich with nutrients and are never given any type of antibiotics or growth hormones.

Why We Choose Lamb Raised In New Zealand


Lambs in New Zealand graze on some of the world’s most lush and nutrient rich pastures. The country enjoys a unique, subtropical climate that encourages animals and plants alike to flourish. New Zealand has some of the best conditions in the world for raising lamb, which might explain why their population outnumbers humans. Cultural traditions in New Zealand make it the industry standard to raise meat humanely and naturally. New Zealand lamb is grass fed throughout its life, unlike American lamb which is often grain finished to encourage larger size and higher body fat percentage. New Zealand lambs are smaller in size, because they were allowed to grow and develop the way nature intended.
