Basel is my town! I love my town and your Mehlsuppa!<br/>This came out perfect and tasty. It's very important to cook the soup enogh time to combine well the flavors and make the soup thicker.<br/>I used all the ingredients as described. Gruyere cheese is the cheese of choice and this is one of my favorites cheeses.<br/>Next time I would only make one change: prepare some more soup!<br/>Thanks a lot for this recipe!

This site used to be awesome. It was at the top of its game when it was called Recipezaar, but that was many years ago. The site was purchased by Scripps and belly-flopped into mediocrity. A few of the faithful members remained, hoping to wait out the storm of corporate nonsense. But alas, it never got better and just continued on its terminal path to nothingness. So most of the loyal members have vanished and made homes at better recipe sites.
