Best 6 German Style Potato Soup Recipes

GERMAN POTATO SOUP

Steps:

• Peel, wash, and cut the potatoes into approx. 1/4 - 1/2 inch sized cubes. Peel and finely chop the onion. Wash the other vegetables (leek, celery root, carrots), peel where necessary/desired, and chop them into small cubes or rings as well.
• Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a large pot, add the onions and sauté them for a few minutes until they become translucent. Add the potatoes and other vegetables and sauté for 2-3 minutes as well.
• Now add your vegetable broth to the pot. The broth should just cover all the vegetables. In our case, this was 4 cups of vegetable broth - but it might be slightly more or less for you.
• Bring everything to a low boil, then turn down the heat and let the soup simmer for around 20 minutes with the lid on. Stir occasionally.
• In the meantime, cut the sausages into slices. Also, wash and chop the parsley.
• After the 20 minutes, add the sliced sausage, chopped parsley, whipping cream (NOT sweet already "whipped" cream), salt, pepper, and nutmeg to the soup - then give it a stir. Let everything simmer for 5 more minutes until the sausages are heated. Add more salt and/or pepper to taste, if desired.
• You can garnish the soup with some more fresh parsley before serving.
