I thought, that Aalsupp has at least originally nothing to do with G Aal, 
and so only referred to as eel soup by mistake, as it's correct etymology is 
from LS "aal(?)", HG/D "alles", E "all" or "everything", hence a soup with 
different ingredients, depending on what has been left over from earlier 
meals. Sozusagen: "Restlsuppn", as we would say in Austria.

Moin, Karl-Heinz!

As I said, I'm not an authority in these things.  However, I can assure you 
that _Aalsupp_ actually contains eel.  There is a version without the eel, 
usually containing something like hamhocks (and we did eat that version at 
home), and it is called _Suursupp_ in Low Saxon _and _saure Suppe_ in 
German.

This is confirmed by Tant Clara:

Furthermore, in our dialects, if it were *_Allsupp_ (with the word for 
"all," "everything") it would be pronounced ["a:lzUp] (with a pre-liquid 
lenthened vowels pronounced like long "a" in Standard Dutch).  However, the 
dish is written <Aalsupp> (in the Lower Elbe dialects <Oolsupp>) and 
pronounced ["Q:lzUp] (with a slightly rounded long "a" as in Swedish _bra_) 
or, at the Lower Elbe, ["o:lzUp].

Cheerio!
