Biersupp (Alsatian beer soup)

Ingredients

• 1 onion
• 40 g of butter
• 1 or 1/2 liter of meat broth
• 25 or 33 cl of blonde or brown beer
• 125 g of light-colored breadcrumbs
• walnut, nutmeg, salt, pepper
• Bread slices that are stale, for making croutons

Peel and chop the onion, then sauté it in butter in a saucepan.

Add the beer and broth, then bring to a boil.

Add the breadcrumbs, nutmeg, salt, and pepper, and let simmer for 10 to 30 minutes.

Cut the bread into croutons and toast them in butter.

Serve hot with croutons, perhaps with a little cream, smoked bacon, or Strasbourg sausages.
