Frittaten Soup
Frittaten soup originates from an incident that took place during the Congress of Vienna in the 19th century, which involved various European ambassadors and was chaired by the Austrian Prince, Klemens Wenzel von Metternich. At this time, the main issues of European politics were discussed during secret meetings between the key diplomats. These private meetings needed to be kept confidential, and many ambassadors decided to hold them incognito in inns outside of the city.

Read it through first
Skim all 10 steps before you start — it is the difference between cooking and firefighting.
Scale it
Use the quantities listed in the original recipe. Adjust them manually if making a different batch size.
Storage
Cool completely, then keep in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days.
Reheating
Reheat gently with a splash of water in a covered pan, rather than blasting it, so nothing dries out.
