RECIPE FOR BEER SOUP

Beer soup!  Let me tell you I have never tried this recipe and would be very interested to hear how you get on with it.

Beer soup is reportedly a hearty soup from Middlle Europe and should be served with pumpernickel.

What you need:-

1 quart beer
1 quart water
1 cup heavy cream
1 tablespoon butter
2 tablespoons sugar
3 egg yolks

Method

Combine beer and water, bring to a boil, and add sugar and butter. Simmer for 25 minutes.

Beat egg yolks thor­oughly; add cream and beat again very thoroughly.

Finally add a little of the hot beer to cream and egg mixture—very slowly, stirring constantly to prevent curdling.

Return the mixture to the saucepan, and heat for 5 minutes, but do not allow the soup to boil.
