Solothurn Wine Soup originates from the Solothurn in the Bernese Mittelland area which is in the north-west region of Switzerland. The town of Solothurn got its name from the Roman-era settlement Salodurum. Solothurn is a pedestrian-only town, and has an impressive array of Baroque architecture, combining Italian Grandezza, French style, and Swiss ideas.
The Wine Soup is influenced by all of the surrounding regions and is a beautiful presentation of a traditional Swiss soup.
