How to Make Chocolate Soup

  1. In a small bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup milk and 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour until completely smooth.
  2. In a medium saucepan, heat 4 1/2 cups milk over medium heat until it reaches a gentle simmer.
  3. In a separate heatproof bowl, place 4 ounces of finely chopped bittersweet chocolate. Slowly pour 1 cup of the simmering milk over the chocolate, whisking constantly until the chocolate is fully melted and the mixture is smooth.
  4. Pour the melted chocolate mixture into the saucepan with the remaining simmering milk. Stir gently to combine.
  5. Gradually whisk in the flour mixture, ensuring no lumps form. Then, stir in 1/4 cup granulated sugar, 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, and 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon.
  6. Continue to cook over medium-low heat, stirring frequently, until the soup thickens to a smooth and creamy consistency, about 5-7 minutes.
  7. Remove from heat and let the soup rest for 1 minute to allow the flavors to meld.
  8. Ladle the warm chocolate soup into bowls and serve immediately with your choice of brioche, panettone, or cookies for dipping.
