Brotsuppe – Bread Soup

Serves: 2

Ingredients

1 litre beef broth (you can also use vegetable broth)
300 grams stale white bread (like you would use for bread dumplings)
2 eggs
3 tablespoons heavy cream
salt
pepper
nutmeg
chives or parsley, chopped (optional)

Directions

In a medium pot, heat up the stock and add the white bread. As it heats up, the bread will absorb the stock and start to dissolve. Cover and bring to a boil. Using a whisk, mix well until combined. Adjust seasonings to taste.

In a bowl, mix cream and eggs, and slowly pour this mixture into the simmering soup, using a wooden spoon instead of the whisk so that the bits of egg aren’t too small.

Serve garnished with chopped parsley or chives.
