Brandy soup
The brandy soup (also called Brockselsupp in the Nassau dialect) is an old custom from the 19th century in the area of the former Duchy of Nassau (Nassauer Land) with a focus on the Aartal and the adjacent Limburg Basin . Serving the soup was common at infant baptisms and weddings.
In addition to brandy , water and sugar, a special gingerbread is used for the Brockselsupp . The brandy soup is traditionally served cold in a tin bowl, the brandy bowl . The soup is consumed according to a fixed custom. The soup is eaten together from the bowl. A rhythm of three knocking and three spooning should be strictly adhered to by everyone.
