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.

Categories     Chicken

Time 55m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

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. So next time you're looking for a new soup recipe to try, give German wine soup a try. You won't be disappointed!
