Chicken and vegetable soup with thin strips of parsley-and-chive pancakes.

About Flädlesuppe
Flädlesuppe is a pancake-strip soup popular in southern Germany and Austria. Björn Freitag’s version combines homemade chicken broth with vegetables, poultry and its own parsley-and-chive pancakes.
Chicken, browned onions, carrots and leek give the broth savoury depth and vegetable sweetness. Bay leaves and chopped herbs add aroma, while milk and egg enrich the pancakes.
Thin, golden pancake strips sit in deep soup plates with the chicken and vegetables. The broth surrounds the soft strips, while small pieces of poultry and finely sliced vegetables provide contrasting textures.
