Warm Spiced Red-Wine and Egg Soup

A small warm wine soup with lemon zest, nutmeg and cinnamon, lightly thickened with an egg yolk and served with biscuits.

Method

Steps

  1. Step 1

    Combine wine, water, sugar, nutmeg, cinnamon and lemon zest in a small saucepan. Bring just to a boil, stirring to dissolve sugar, then lower the heat.

  2. Step 2

    Beat the yolk in a heatproof bowl. Whisk in a small ladle of hot wine mixture, then another, before returning it to the saucepan.

  3. Step 3

    Stir over very gentle heat until the soup reaches 74 °C without boiling or curdling. If egg strands form, the trial has failed and should not be represented as a smooth soup.

  4. Step 4

    Ladle into four small warm bowls and offer plain biscuits separately. Serve hot to adults only; the finished soup remains alcoholic.
