Say this to the waiter (German)
Kraftbrühe mit Eierstich, bitte. Nur zur Sicherheit: Sind Suppe und Eierstich ohne Nudeln, Reis oder Brot?
Kraftbrühe with Eierstich, please. Just to confirm, no pasta, rice, or bread in the soup or Eierstich?
Watch out for
Small amount of residual carbs from broth vegetables (usually negligible), potential for starches or fillers in pre-made Eierstich (unlikely in authentic preparation).
