Don't let Jean, Denise or Sharon see this - labradors - 12-18-2009

Found in an ebook copy of a 1908 cookbook:

Quote:

Bavarian Wine Soup

Mix 3 pints of red wine with 1 pint of water. Add sugar, nutmeg and cinnamon to taste and the grated peel of
half a lemon. Let come to a boil; then stir in the yolks of 2 well-beaten eggs. Do not boil again. Serve hot
with biscuits.

I wonder what the egg does for it? The rest sounds really good, though!


Re: Don't let Jean, Denise or Sharon see this - foodfiend - 12-18-2009

The egg yolks thicken the mixture, I would think...

Serve with biscuits, perhaps cheddar biscuits? This sounds very interesting!


Re: Don't let Jean, Denise or Sharon see this - Gourmet_Mom - 12-18-2009

That makes sense, but I'm not sure I like the idea of it....I like the rest of it, though.

Well well well....holding on me eh?

I am guessing the bisquits are more like crackers, not like bisquits we use for gravy. It's like a hot mulled wine.

Does it have the recipe for said bisquits? I will so try this...and I will sample often to ensure QS

There was no special biscuit recipe with it. The eggs sounded odd to me, too, so I had done some Googling around, and found a blog entry with a different version of the recipe (larger quantity; from Hungary, instead of Germany; white wine, instead of red; and served cold, instead of hot). In addition, the blog mentions the soup recipe in the same context as a recipe for Poppy-Seed Bread Pudding, though it doesn't actually say they're served together.

Somehow this doesn't sound even a little good to me. Blech.

The trick is making it good. Ok ladies...I know we're up for this task
