Klimpas Soup

This used to be my childhood’s favorite soup!  My Latvian great-grandmother used to make it when I was very, very young, and then my mom took over the recipe.  I just learned it from her!  Here’s the recipe:

Ingredients:

• Consommé – see yesterday’s post
• 1 egg
• 3 Tablespoons flour
• 1/4 cup water
• salt and pepper
• chives – chopped

Directions:

1. Warm up the Consommé.
2. Mix the egg with the flour well.
3. Add salt, pepper and water, and mix well.
4. With a small teaspoon, add batter, one spoon at a time, slowly, into the broth.
5. Warm up the soup, and let it cook, so that the “Klimpas” are cooked – about 10 minutes.
   
6. Serve and add a little bit of chives.
