Wallachian rabbit soup was the winner of the Best Wallachian Recipe Competition. It is among the typical Wallachian dishes of the Zlin and Moravian-Silesian Regions, two administrative units of the Czech Republic. A unique ethnographic area, Moravian Wallachia is home to old castles and chateaus and forested mountains, and it was traditionally home to a population of shepherds who wore a distinctive style of dress. Today, Moravian Wallachia’s inhabitants keep their folk traditions alive by doing things like making plum brandy (Slivovice) and this award-winning recipe.

1 large onion
4 cups bone broth
1 1/2 cups whipping cream
1 Tbs all-purpose flour
salt to taste

Meanwhile, remove the rabbit head from the pot and then remove the meat from the head. Return the meat to the soup. Add the eggs while the soup is boiling.
