Viennese festive soup


Explanation:
I'm pretty sure that is referring to Wiener Festtagssuppe and the Dreierlei is referring to that fact that the soup (a clear broth) always contains three things - noodles, meat and vegetables!

neutral  Julia Burgess: You have put it better than I did, Sanni :) However, I think Thomas and Lesley are probably right about it being one soup with three ingredients - I am keen to see what Martina finds out from her client, as this clearly needs some clarification.

  -> Much obliged, Sanni, wohl bekommt's!
agree  Eleanore Strauss: Beautiful way to put a hearty soup
3 hrs
  -> Let's hope it tastes as good as it sounds. Cheers!
agree  Thomas Pfann: Hyphenate 'triple-delight'? Seeing that it was the missing hyphen in the German phrase which caused the inital misunderstanding (although that's less of a problem in English). / Na Mahlzeit. Jetzt eine Buchstabensuppe zur Stärkung des Übersetzers. :-)
3 hrs
  -> For BE, yes, a hyphen would be good, for AE, it's Einerlei. Guten Apetit!
agree  aykon: triple delight festive soup i would prefer. "holiday soup" sounds a bit strange. is this about christmas?
