# Anleitung:
01 - In a medium mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and salt. Create a well in the center, add the eggs and milk. Stir until a thick batter is achieved, then let rest for 10 minutes.
02 - Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Push the batter through a spaetzle maker or colander into the water. Cook until the spaetzle float, approximately 2 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon and set aside.
03 - In a large soup pot over medium heat, add olive oil. Sauté the onion, garlic, carrots, celery, and bell pepper for 5 to 7 minutes until softened.
04 - Add crushed tomatoes, vegetable broth, oregano, basil, thyme, and crushed red pepper flakes to the pot. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer for 10 minutes.
05 - Add broken lasagne noodles to the simmering broth. Cook for 8 to 10 minutes until noodles are just tender.
06 - Return the cooked spaetzle to the pot along with Emmental, mozzarella, and Parmesan cheeses. Stir gently until the cheese melts and the soup reaches a creamy consistency. Adjust seasoning with salt and black pepper as needed.
07 - Ladle the soup into serving bowls and garnish with fresh basil leaves and extra Parmesan cheese.
