GERMAN WINE SOUP

German Wine Soup image

This is a creamy, elegant soup. I first had Red Wine Soup several years ago in Wurzberg at the Ratskeller. I found this recipe in a German cookbook and it is the closest I could come to imitating their recipe. You can use white wine, if you wish.

Time 55m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

Ingredients

4 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 lb turnip, peeled and grated
3 medium leeks, white and light green parts,sliced and washed
1 medium onion, peeled and diced
2 teaspoons kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2 cups riesling wine
2 cups beef or 2 cups chicken broth
4 fluid ounces heavy cream
2 tablespoons minced fresh flat-leaf parsley

Steps:

Melt the butter in a soup pot; add the turnips, leeks, and onion, and season with the salt and pepper.
Cover and cook the vegetables over medium heat until soft and tender, about 20 minutes, stirring occasionally to make sure they do not brown.
Add the wine to the vegetables and simmer over medium heat to reduce by about one half- this will take about 10 minutes.
In a blender, process the soup to a coarsely-textured puree.
Return the soup to the pan, add the broth, and simmer for 3 or 4 minutes.
Add the cream and continue to simmer for 3 to 4 minutes more to thicken slightly.
Serve the soup in warmed bowls with a sprinkling of parsley on top.

Tips:

Choose the right wine. A dry white wine with a good acidity is best for this soup. Some good options include Sauvignon Blanc, Pinot Grigio, and Riesling.
Don't boil the wine. Boiling the wine will cook off the alcohol and ruin the flavor of the soup. Simmer it gently instead.
Add the wine gradually. Add the wine to the soup in small increments, stirring constantly. This will help to prevent the soup from curdling.
Season the soup to taste. Add salt, pepper, and other seasonings to taste. You may also want to add a pinch of sugar to balance out the acidity of the wine.
Serve the soup hot. German wine soup is best served hot, with a garnish of fresh herbs or croutons.

Conclusion:

German wine soup is a delicious and easy-to-make soup that is perfect for a cold winter night. With its rich flavor and creamy texture, this soup is sure to warm you up from the inside out.
