Preparation

  1. Heat the oil and fry the onion and mince in it for about 5 minutes.
  2. Add the leek and fry for another 5 minutes, seasoning with salt and pepper.
  3. Pour in the stock and white wine, bring to the boil and simmer gently for about 10 minutes.
  4. Melt the processed cheese in the soup, stirring constantly.
  5. Season with salt, pepper and, if you like, a pinch of nutmeg and serve hot. Baguette goes well with it.

Drink with it

  • Pale lager · excellent match

    Slim, maltily dry Helles or Pilsner

    Carbonation loosens the fat of the processed cheese, and the light malt sweetness suits the leek and fried mince.

  • White wine · good match

    Dry Grüner Veltliner or Silvaner

    Acidity cuts through the cheesy creaminess, and the wine in the glass picks up the splash of white wine in the soup.
