How to Make Basler Mehlsuppa
- In a heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium heat, gently toast 1/4 cup all-purpose flour until it turns a pale golden brown, stirring constantly (about 5-7 minutes).
- Remove the toasted flour from the heat and set aside.
- In a separate pan, sauté 1 medium onion, thinly sliced, in 2 tablespoons of butter until translucent (about 5 minutes).
- Add the sautéed onions to the toasted flour and stir to combine.
- Gradually whisk in 4 cups beef stock, 1/2 cup dry white wine, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper.
- Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, stirring frequently, and cook for 30 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
- While the soup simmers, prepare the bread bowls: Place one slice of bread in each of four bowls. Top each slice with 1-2 ounces of Gruyère cheese (or Swiss cheese).
- Ladle the hot soup over the cheese and bread, ensuring each bowl is generously filled. Serve immediately and enjoy the delicious warmth of authentic Basler Mehlsuppe!
