Frittatensuppe

Flädlesuppe or frittatensuppe (as it is known in Austria) is a traditional and Austrian soup that consists of a rich broth with thin strips of flädle (frittaten) pancakes, hence the name of the soup. Although the traditional version calls for beef broth as the base, chicken or vegetable stock may be used as well. The soup is often enhanced with chunks of steamed or sautéed vegetables such as leeks, carrots, celery, and green onions. After assembling the sliced and rolled strips in each serving bowl, this piping hot soup is poured over them and the whole thing is finished with a handful of freshly chopped herbs such as parsley, chives, or celery leaves on top.
