Hapanvelli (Finnish lit. 'sour gruel') is a traditional South-Eastern Finnish dish that resembles pea soup but has a more sour flavour. It takes roughly an hour to prepare hapanvelli, which is made from a rye sourdough starter, potatoes and peas.[1] It is traditionally served with a pat of butter and cold milk.
