Sto soup

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The sto soup (also stohsuppe or jog soup ) is a simple soup of the Austrian cuisine made from sour milk , sour cream , water and flour. Some recipes also mention potatoes as an ingredient. It is usually seasoned with caraway seeds , salt and pepper . To prepare it, water is boiled with caraway seeds, sour milk and sour cream are stirred into the flour until smooth, stirred into the boiling water and seasoned with salt and pepper. As a side dish, Erdäpfelschmarrn or Kartoffelsterz are very popular if the potatoes are omitted in the soup.

The word sto comes from mhd. Stouwen 'stuck', ahd. Stouwen 'curb' (related to 'stow'). In some areas of Lower Austria, the Stoseicher (soup strainer) is also known. The name comes from curdled milk, which was also known as curdled milk.

Until the 20th century, the sto soup was enjoyed by many farmers as breakfast and it was not until the 1930s that malt coffee had partly replaced it. In Styria and Lower Austria Stosuppe is also a popular fast food. A similar soup is known as autumn milk soup in Bavarian cuisine .
