Bring the sourdough to a boil in a small saucepan. Add the cream and bring back to a boil. Season generously with salt. While the mixture is warming, whisk the flour and water until lump-free. This works best in a shaker. When the cream is boiling, stir in the flour mixture and reduce the heat. Continue stirring constantly, otherwise the soup will burn. Bring back to a boil and season with salt again. If the soup is too salty, add more cream; if it tastes “empty,” add more salt. Now tear the bread into bite-sized pieces, place in a bowl, and pour the soup over it. Serve immediately; the soup tastes best hot. A hearty loaf of bread works well here, but not whole-wheat bread. It can also be stale and should have as much crust as possible, as the bread softens quickly. A square loaf tastes best. White bread is not suitable; it lacks flavor.
