Food in Swabia is world renowned and is often described as very hearty and rich in tradition. Recipes have been handed down from generation to generation. They often only include a few ingredients or they are a combination of multiple recipes. Much loved by the Swabians are soups. There are many variations of soups, many of which include pasta and/or wurst. This love of soup has given them the name “Soup Swabians (Suppenschwaben).”
