FRITATTEN SOUP WITH ROMAINE

Steps:

• Heat the chicken stock in a saucepan over medium heat. Add the chopped carrots, celery, and onion and cook until the vegetables are soft, about 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, break the eggs into a medium bowl, add 1 teaspoon water, and beat lightly. Add the flour and whisk well to combine. (You're essentially making REALLY thin pancake batter.) Brush a crepe pan (or a small nonstick skillet) with a little olive oil and place it over medium-high heat. Pour in a small amount of batter and swirl it around to thinly coat the bottom of the pan; pour any excess back into the bowl. Cook until set, about 30 seconds to 1 minute. Carefully turn the crepe over and cook on the other side for 10 to 15 seconds. Remove the crepe and put it onto a plate. Continue making crepes and stacking them until all the batter is used up. When the crepes cool, slice the stack into 1/4-inch wide strips.
• Heat 1 teaspoon olive oil in a small skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the mushrooms until they release their liquid, about 3 minutes; set aside. Add another teaspoon oil and cook the romaine until just wilted, about 1 minute; set aside.
• Divide the soup among 4 heated wide soup bowls. Pile on the sliced crepes, then top with the romaine and mushrooms. Serve immediately.
• The soup stock can be anything you like. Fritatten soup is a really nice base that you can take in any direction you like.

FRITTATENSUPPE - BEEF BROTH TOPPED WITH STRIPS OF SLICED PANCAKE

Steps:

• Stir together milk and flour, add the egg, salt and a tbsp of butter, mixing well to make a smooth batter. Let rest for 15 minutes.
• Add a little butter to a nonstick omelette pan, ladle some of the batter in the center of the pan than tilt it to evenly cover entire surface. Cook for 1 - 2 minutes minutes or until golden brown.
• Lift the edge with a spatula to loosen and turn, add more butter and cook for another minute. Remove to a platter. Repeat with remaining batter.
• If the batter gets too thick towards the end, just add a little milk and mix well.
• Let the pancakes cool off, then roll each one tight together like a cigar and with a sharp knife slice thinly across.
• Top each bowl of broth with the frittata slices or serve separately on the side. Finish the soup with chopped chives and grated nutmeg (optional).
