Pretzel Soup

The Pretzel soup is a typical recipe from the Wildschönau area in Tirol. It's not a soup actually, even if the name suggests it.

Method

Step 1

Cut the pretzels in 1 cm (0.4 inch) wide pieces, pour hot soup over them, cover and leave to soak.

Step 2

Carefully pour off any excess soup.

Step 3

Layer pretzels and cheese in a baking dish.

Step 4

Fry the finely chopped onion in butter until light yellow and pour over the layers.

Step 5

Bake in the oven, and serve sprinkled with chives.

Tip: As for drinks, take milk or buttermilk.
