The word translates most simply as "flour soup", but the translation does not do the soup justice. Mehlsuppe is a hearty, strongly flavored soup based on a beef stock, prominently featuring browned flour and onions, sometimes red wine, and seasoned not only with peppercorns but also with medievally-slanted spices now more typical of sweet dishes than savory ones -- usually cloves, but sometimes adding or substituting nutmeg or allspice, depending on who's cooking. Fasnacht marchers and visitors alike sop this soup up by the gallon and at all hours over the Three Best Days.
