Author Notes
This soup is a modest meal, but a satisfying one, made of a handful of ingredients from the pantry. It´s a recipe from my home close to the French-German border where I grew up. My mother would prepare this soup for me whenever I was in need for warmth & comfort, and it never missed its purpose. —Sabine
