Best Basle Flour Soup Recipes
BROWNED-FLOUR SOUP FROM BASLE (SWITZERLAND)
From "The Swiss Cookbook". I haven't made it. The author says that it's traditional Swiss fare, going all the way back to the Middle Ages. "Swiss people love them, and though my view is somewhat skeptical, they are part of Swiss eating to this day."

BASLE FLOUR SOUP
This comes from a book called "Cooking in Switzerland" This is the traditional soup of the Basle carnival. It is served in the early morning hours after the "Morgenstraich" (the official opening of the Basle carnival) and again after everyone is tired and hungry from the "Gaessle" (when the small, masked groups parade through the streets of Basle).
