Nudelsuppe

Nudelsuppe is a simple German noodle soup that typically consists of noodles in clear soup. Traditionally, the base for the soup is a rich chicken or beef broth with German soup vegetables or soup greens (Suppengrün) such as carrots, parsnips, leeks, celery, onions, and turnips.

Thin egg noodles such as faddennudeln are the most commonly used noodles for this soup, although other noodle varieties may also be used instead of it. The soup and the noodles are usually prepared separately, and the boiled noodles are then added to the hot soup right before serving.

Nudelsuppe is sometimes enhanced with pieces of diced or shredded chicken or beef, depending on the type of broth used for the base, and it's usually sprinkled with fresh chives or parsley on top. In Germany, noodle soups are typically enjoyed as a starter, and they have long been a part of the traditional Shabbat dinner.
