Carrots, or no carrots? Pork, or no pork? Sounds like it’s a regional difference. Here’s everything the Time/Life book has to say about this soup.

He tried to explain- it grows in the ground, like a potato but not a turnip. Finally I got up and handed over the Swedish-English dictionary and they looked it up. Horseradish soup!
