German Pancake Soup (Flädlesuppe) is a traditional German soup, typically made using beef bones, small pancake strips, and broth. This recipe takes a slightly different approach, using a beef bone (or beef short ribs) to create a flavorful and hearty broth. The soup may be made in advance and reheated, making it ideal for a quick dinner or an easy lunch. The pancake strips are replaced with a creamy, thick, and slightly sweet broth to create a soup that is simpler, yet equally delicious. It's an excellent introduction to German cuisine, and perfect for those cold winter nights.

Instructions

1.Put the bone, tomatoes, onions, clove, peppercorns, bay leaf, carrot, celery, and bouillon cubes in a large saucepan.
2.Add enough water to cover the contents of the saucepan and bring to a boil over medium heat.
3.Reduce heat and let simmer, partially covered, for 1 ½ hours.
4.In a small bowl, beat the eggs and add the flour, milk, and salt. Mix well until smooth.
5.Slowly pour the egg mixture into the soup, stirring constantly, until it reaches a creamy consistency. Cook for 5 more minutes, until thick and bubbly.
6.Discard the bone and season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve hot.
