Mosterdsoep – Recipe for the Dutch mustard soup
A few years ago, during my Dutch course in my bachelor’s degree, I first heard about the Dutch Mosterdsoep. At first I thought what a funny combination it must be and put the thought of this mustard soup aside for now.
But for some reason, I never quite forgot the Dutch mustard soup and now it’s time to start working on a mustard soup recipe myself. Fortunately, Holland is not too far away, both regionally and socially. And since I now live in the Düsseldorf area, which turned out to be the mustard capital, I can compare the Dutch mustard soup directly with the Düsseldorf mustard soup.
But here is my version of the Dutch Mosterdsoep for now.

Dutch Mosterdsoep – My conclusion
I am slowly becoming a little soup lover. The Dutch mosterdsoep reminds me of a simple cheese soup when it is prepared and tastes at least as good the next day when warmed up. I think this soup fits in any case as a warming up in winter but also as a starter to many other dishes.
