A Recipe by Brigitte Enderlin, Maienfeld
Since winegrower Brigitte Enderlin took part in the Swiss television programme «Landfrauenküche» over 15 years ago with her Riesling cream soup, the dish has had a firm place in her cooking repertoire. She serves it every year when she and her family welcome guests to their wine cellar during the Maienfeld «Wiikend». To ensure the recipe is a success, she advises that it is important to use a good white wine. Her secret tip: serve the soup with a little finely chopped raw ham as a garnish.
