Soupe au Fromage d'Auvergne
Also known as: Auvergne Cheese Soup
An Auvergnat bread-and-Cantal soup with cabbage, onions and white wine.
About Soupe au Fromage d'Auvergne
This Auvergnat cheese soup follows Papou Poustache's explicitly traditional recipe. Stale country bread and Cantal cheese form its substantial base, with cabbage and onions in broth.
Cantal gives a rich dairy flavour alongside the savoury onions and cabbage. Dry white wine adds acidity, with salt and pepper providing the simple seasoning.
The bread absorbs the broth into a dense mixture rather than a thin soup. Layers of cheese can leave a gratinated surface; the author describes a consistency firm enough to eat with a fork.
