The spices, which typically include cinnamon, nutmeg, and cardamom, add a warm and aromatic flavor to the soup. Øllebrød is typically served warm, with a dollop of whipped cream or a sprinkle of cinnamon sugar. It can also be served cold, as a refreshing summer soup.

Based on a recipe from Madge Rosenberg's book, The Best Bread Machine Cookbook Ever - Ethnic Breads.

For a traditional Danish open-faced sandwich (smorrebrod), spread with butter, then top with thinly sliced roast beef and a dollop of prepared horseradish thinned with sour cream. Measurements are for the large 1 ½ pound loaf; measurements for the small (1 pound) loaf are in parentheses.

  • You can adjust the amount of sugar in the soup to your liking. If you prefer a sweeter soup, add more sugar. If you prefer a less sweet soup, add less sugar.
  • The soup can be served hot or cold. If you are serving it cold, chill it in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours before serving.
  • Danish beer soup is a great way to use up leftover bread. You can use any type of bread, but a hearty bread like rye bread or sourdough bread works especially well.
