Preparation

Step 1

- chop onion fine and saute in butter until transparent, then add wine and let simmer for about 1 min.
- add broth, bring to a boil.
- mix the flour with the creme fraiche and add to soup.
- let soup simmer for 10-15 min, stir couple of times.
- add heavy cream and let simmer for another 10 min.
- cut out of the bread stars and fry them in hot oil until they are crunchy.
- place stars on kitchen paper (takes of the oil); sprinkle them very lightly with cinnamon and ginger (if you like); it adds a tiny touch of ginger/cinnamon which is actually harmonizing very well with the other ingredients.
- spice soup with salt and white pepper to taste and puree with a stick mixer.
- add chopped parsley.
- serve with the cinnamon stars

Tips
The soup should be thick. If the soup is too thin let it simmer longer so it will be thickening.
You can use 1/2 l Riesling and less vegetable broth (stronger wine taste).
