Ohhhhh, My mother (Simone Cooreman)came from Flanders near Geraadsbergen and my grandmother always had this soup on her farmhouse stove. She put little stars in hers and meatballs sometimes. Then on hot days, we had bowls of sweetened buttermilk from the cellar. Rice pudding always and croquette potatoes if I was very good! What days! thank you...I shall make this!
