These are very delicate breadsticks that make a truly delicious accompaniment to soup or a suitable buffet. Marie likes to make the Västerbotten breadsticks with a little kick. But don’t be afraid to get creative and experiment with other flavorings, such as finely grated garlic, oregano, pesto, tomato, or grated lemon!

Below, Marie also shares a recipe for a delicious creamy mushroom soup that you can make while the dough is rising. It goes together like a glove.

Creamy Mushroom Soup:

Peel and chop the onions into small pieces, sauté the onions and mushrooms in butter, then add the wine and broth and simmer for 10 minutes.
8

Add the cream and milk and cook for 5 minutes. Blend everything in a blender until smooth, then season to taste with salt, pepper, and a splash of cognac.

Finish by adding 1 dl of milk and seasoning with salt and pepper. Blend again just before serving to create a nice foam, then sprinkle a little smoked paprika on top.
