Last week we went for a few days to the Black Forest to spend some time in the mountains and discover local restaurants and dishes. Our son is at an age now that we can travel more often, it’s much easier, he enjoys it and wants to discover the world and we don’t have to take care of him the whole time (:
On our last day we found a nice restaurant with a view on the Swiss Alps, it was just breathtaking. I had this soup and since then couldn’t wait to make it at home. It’s a deep dark beef broth with an impossibly tasty flavor and herbed crepes swimming underneath.
I just added the asparagus, boiled them quickly in the broth for flavor, then served the soup with shredded pancakes.
A homemade version of this pancake soup seemed fitting for this post, it’s born out of a good memory and, most importantly, it is absolutely delicious and i’m over excited to share it with you.
