Akersush soups

[cruise cruise cruise]

According to the Akershus lunch menu I have seen, it states "choice of soup" with a few of the entrees. Do anyone know what soup(s) are offered?

Anyone been for lunch and can comment on the soups?

The soup at lunch is a red (i think tomato based) soup. It sorta tastes like a borchst (sp?)....it's actually quite good. In fact, the hot entrees there are so poor that I usually just eat the soup and have the cold buffet.

Norwegians are not known for their cooking, fish dishes are ok. The soup, if it was red, was probably a beet soup, again Norwegians don't use a lot of tomatoes in their cooking.

Being married to a Norwegian woman for 25 years I have never wanted to eat at Akerhaus. Plus I can't eat fish so there goes most of the hot dishes.

Thank you both. However, I was able to snag a dinner spot so I guess I wont have to eat the tomato beet soup after all And lucky for me I like fish so I can order that.
I did have my eye on the beef tip, sounds like I should stay away from that though?

We've eaten there a few times and the *best* thing I've had there was the "Fish of the Day." Can't remember what it was, but it was actually decent. Sadly can't say that for anything else we've had there.

LOL to the previous poster's remark about Norwegians not being able to cook. Never knew that.

I had a cream of cauliflower soup there a couple weeks ago and it was really good. The other soup was a vegetable soup, I think with a tomato base. I liked the soup better than the entree, and also enjoyed the salad bar.

I ate there this summer and the choice was a vegetable soup and a cauliflower soup. Believe it or not the Cauliflower soup was really good.

I had a really fantastic roasted vegetable ravioli the last time I went. It's no longer on the menu, but I'm really looking forward to trying the mushroom ravioli when I visit in January. The pasta dishes there are, in my opinion, generally very good.

I had the fish of the day last week and it was cod.it was actually very good.
