Today felt like one of those Roux days. This hearty soup is a beloved staple across Germany, often making an appearance at cozy family dinners or parties to keep the alcohol in check. It's a dish that asks for little - perfect when silence is golden and comfort is key. Traditionally made with two types of Schmelzkäse (a plain and a herbed variety of a creamy, processed cheese blend) that are hard to come by outside of Germany, this version comes very close and is made from scratch - and feels at home just about anywhere.
