Buttermilchsuppe

Buttermilchsuppe is a traditional buttermilk soup. This creamy dish combines a mixture of cooked buttermilk, whole milk, flour, and potato mash with fried bacon and onions. It is usually flavored with lemon juice and served hot, garnished with chopped chives, and accompanied by slices of rye bread. Typically eaten for lunch, this soup was traditionally prepared in the Province of Pomerania, a former German territory. All the soup’s ingredients were commonly made at home, and the dish was once considered food of the poor.
