Found in an ebook copy of a 1908 cookbook:

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.
If blueberry muffins have blueberries in them, what do vegan muffins have?

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

The egg yolks thicken the mixture, I would think...
Serve with biscuits, perhaps cheddar biscuits? This sounds very interesting!

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.
You only live once . . . but if you do it right once should be enough!
