Eel Soup / Hamburger Aalsuppe

I absolutely loved this! BF and I still talk about it after more than 2 years. Living in Hamburg at the time and standing up at 4am to go to the traditional ‘Fischmarkt’ to get the eel when it was freezing cold may have been part of the charme, though...

Amendment 6. Nov. 2009: I’ve made this dish again, albeit with modifications: I used app. 450g smoked eel instead of 800g fresh eel, and roughly half of the amount of vegetables and other filling, omitting the asparagus and substituting it with the other vegetables. For the other ingredients (meat, broth, etc.) I used the amounts given. Enough for 3-4 persons.
