Suaasat is a traditional Greenlandic soup. It is often made from seal, or from whale, reindeer, or sea-birds, however if these can't be found then beef or lamb may be substituted. It is traditionally served at Christmas, though it can be eaten at any time of year.[1]
The soup often includes onions and potatoes and is simply seasoned with salt and pepper or bay leaf. The soup is often thickened with rice or by soaking barley in the water overnight so that the starches leach into the water.[2]
