Manufaktur U My Most Swabian Maultaschen Soup. Beef broth with four small Maultaschen, filled with minced meat and parsley, ready to serve in a can.

Manufaktur U My Most Swabian Maultaschen Soup is a clear beef broth made from soup bones and root vegetables with Maultaschen as an accompaniment. The Maultaschen make up 25% of the soup and are filled with mixed minced meat, egg, white bread, and parsley. Contents: 400 ml in a tin can.

Maultaschen soup from Manufaktur U is a piece of Swabian cuisine that has made it all the way to Nordhorn. Maultaschen are filled pasta pockets from Swabia. Classically, they are served in two ways: "geschmälzt" (sautéed) with onions and egg from the pan, or in broth as a soup. Our variety is the soup version. Each can contains four small Maultaschen swimming in a rich beef broth made from soup bones, celery, carrots, leeks, and onions. The filling consists of mixed minced meat, eggs, white bread made from wheat flour, and parsley. Diced onions, vegetable fats, salt, pepper, and spices round off the soup.

Taste: clear broth, hearty filling, fresh parsley

My Most Swabian Maultaschen Soup tastes honest and uncomplicated. The beef broth is rich and savory, with the sweetness of carrots and onions in the background. The Maultaschen provide the heartiness: a filling of minced meat held together by egg and white bread. The parsley gives it a fresh, green note that goes well with the clear broth. This makes the soup feel light, even though the dumplings make it quite filling. The spices are understated, letting the broth and filling take center stage.

Those looking for a creamy, thickened soup will find this clear broth too simple. Its strength lies precisely in the fact that the broth and the Maultaschen speak for themselves.

Use: heat up, add chives, serve with bread

The soup is ready to serve. Pour the contents of the can into a pot and heat it over medium heat, stirring occasionally. Stir gently so that the Maultaschen remain intact. One can makes one portion for a light meal or two bowls as a starter.

In true Swabian fashion, sprinkle freshly chopped chives on top. Sautéed onions from the pan are also a great addition and remind one of the traditional pan-fried Maultaschen. Serve with a slice of farmhouse bread or a pretzel. It is perfectly sufficient for a quick lunch. As a starter, the soup works well before a roast with potato salad. Store the unopened can in a cool, dry place; the best-before date is printed on the can.

Our tip: Cut the Maultaschen in half crosswise in the bowl before pouring the broth over them. This allows the hot broth to soak into the filling, ensuring every spoonful has a bit of both.

Origin: Stephan's home-style soup, cooked according to our recipe

This variety has a personal history. Stephan Uhlenbusch, owner of Leni & Hans, grew up in Southern Germany and brought his beloved Maultaschen soup to the North. Together with his wife Kerstin, who had the idea for Manufaktur U, he turned it into a recipe for our own private label.

The soup is prepared by a manufacturer that the two selected for Manufaktur U. They adhere to our recipe and pack the soup into tin cans with a paper label. On the label, you can read "UHLENBUSCH manufaktur • delikatessen" and the variety name in typewriter font. The superlative "most Swabian" is a little wink to his homeland.

For whom: for Swabians in exile and all those who want to become one

The soup is perfect for anyone who loves Maultaschen and lives far from Swabia. It is also suitable as a gift for friends who have moved from the South to the North, or conversely, for Northerners getting their first taste of Swabian cuisine. It makes a quick lunch and a good pantry staple for days when you don't feel like cooking. If you prefer something festive with a garnish, choose the Holiday Soup with Savory Egg Custard and Marrow Dumplings. You can find all varieties on our Manufaktur U page.
