Happy Sunday, Soupers!<\/p>\n

My family and I have been living in Swiss Romandie for 14 years!\u00a0 While we’ve lived in the the city of Lausanne, I have worked in Geneva (located roughly 40 miles away) for half of our stay.\u00a0 So it comes as no surprise that we’d finally get around to creating a Soupe de l’Escalade Gen\u00e8ve (soupe de la M\u00e8re Royaume).<\/em><\/p>\n

What is Escalade<\/em><\/h3>\n

According the Alimentarium<\/a> in Vevey,\u00a0every year, on 12 December, the city of Geneva hosts the Escalade festival to commemorate the attack on the city by Savoyard troops in the 1602.<\/p>\n

According to legend, the troops were planning a surprise attack on the city by climbing the city walls. A citizen of Geneva saw the troops approaching through her window. To prevent them from climbing the walls of her home, she dumped a pot of soup on their heads and the rest is history. So this soup contains the ingredients that were found in this first soup some 419 years ago.<\/p>\n

This festival brings Geneva\u2019s inhabitants together around a celebration, a meal that includes soup and a chocolate cauldron.<\/p>\n

Simple Soups Win<\/h3>\n

What makes this soup so special?\u00a0 It’s simplicity. There are no fancy ingredients or techniques. It’s a simplicity that only a grandma really knows. So don’t just enjoy this soup during a rainy or snowy winter season around Christmas.\u00a0 Enjoy it anytime of the year, whenever your feel like it.\u00a0 Both your kids and your own tummy will thank you!\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
