In their photographs, Anna and Bernhard Blume turn bourgeois life upside down. Domestic order is literally shattered by flying potatoes and broken dishes. In her private life, Anna Blume was known for her cheese and leek soup. "My mother used to make the soup when we had visitors. I hated it as a child," says Hedwig Blume, Anna and Bernhard Blume's daughter.

As the soup at the opening of the exhibition "Anna and Bernhard Blume. In Cahoots (A=B)" was a great success with our visitors, we would like to give everyone who could not come the chance to cook Anna Blume's recipe themselves.

4 - 8 leeks 
500 - 1000 g minced beef or mixed meat 
1 onion
2 - 3 packages of natural or herbed cream cheese 
1 - 2 cups of whipping cream
Salt, pepper, water

1. Chop the onion and cut the leek into rings
2. Fry minced meat and onion in oil, then add leek and pour in water
3. Simmer over low heat until leek is soft
4. Add cream cheese and whipped cream and heat up once again (do not boil!)
5. Season to taste with salt and pepper
6. Add a little more water if needed

For a vegetarian version, replace the ground beef with a meat substitute, such as smoked tofu.

We wish you good luck with your cooking.
