Franconian beer soup

STEP BY STEP

Let's make something delicious.

1. 01

   Heat the beer in a large saucepan, stirring occasionally.

2. 02

   Melt 30 g of the butter in another saucepan. Quickly stir in the flour and cook gently for 1–2 minutes.

3. 03

   Add the cold milk and whisk the roux until smooth. Add the cinnamon stick, clove, allspice, 1 tbsp sugar and the beer. Bring to the boil and simmer for 3 minutes.

4. 04

   Cut the milk roll into cubes and toast on all sides in a non-stick frying pan with the remaining butter. Scatter the croutons over the soup and serve.

5. 05

   Note: The toasted milk roll croutons add a crisp topping to the beer soup.
