Mmm mmm good
Tuesday was soup day at Kirchtag. What kind of soup? Kirchtagsuppe, of course! It’s a creamy, heavily seasoned soup with 3 kinds of meat – chicken, beef, and pork. It’s served with a slice of bread called Reindling, which is sweet and almost like a cinnamon roll with raisins. The secret seems to be in the combinations of herbs and spices that are used, and everyone has their own recipe. Six of the local restaurants served up their best versions at a tasting contest with some of the local dignitaries. I tried a couple of them at lunch with some friends, and there were all pretty good. I might have to learn to make it someday.
The festivities are ramping up in intensity and frequency each day. More soon!
Here is some of the crowd enjoying the soup.
