What is Hochzeitssuppe?
Hochzeitsuppe literally translates into "wedding soup". It is a soup based on chicken broth, which is traditionally served at German wedding receptions. The soup is usually served as the first reception dinner and you can find it at almost every wedding in Germany. Hochzeitssuppe is so popular that it can be found, in slightly different forms in all regions of Germany, a country known for its regional differences and specialties. Hochzeitsuppe has been replaced since then. One of the well -known regional varieties is Westfaliche Hochzeitssuppe, named Westphalia. The main difference between Westfaliche Hochzeitsuppe and Hochzeitsuppe administered in other parts of the country is that it is traditionally prepared with beef broth, unlike a chicken broth. One of the reasons could be adherence to the tradition that it is served at weddings, but it is also due to the fact that it is quite time consuming preparation. In order to make broth, chicken and bones together with spices, they must be cooked for several throwsn.
parts of the chicken most often used in recipes are the rear, neck and wings. The spice almost always includes celery, parsley and onion. Bay leaves and cloves are also often used.
The look of the broth is quite bright and the soup contains spiral egg noodles. Between noodles; Meat balls, carrots, peas and parsley are also added to provide taste and texture. Depending on the region, asparagus may also be an important component.
Sometimes, when the family does not have time before the wedding to prepare the broth, it is purchased from a supermarket or restaurant. In this way, it may not have a hand in the preparation of the soup, but it takes much less time to prepare with the broth already produced. In addition, the known taste of the broth can be ensured when it is made professionally. After obtaining the broth, the soup manufacturer must add only one of the traditional meat and vegetables they want, and the soup is ready for minimal DBoth cooking.
Hochzeitsuppe is sometimes sometimes produced with raisins in addition to the rest of the typical ingredients. In other cases, it is a traditional bread that accompanies soup, raisin. Motivation by adding raisins is to add a touch of sweets to the taste profile and at the same time increase the structure of the soup. Other versions of Hochzeitsuppe include dumplings.
