Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 lb fresh green beans
4 medium red potatoes
1 large russet potato (for thickening)
2 small leeks
1 Tbsp vegetable oil
4-6 oz mettwurst (smoked pork sausage) sliced
2 qt broth, beef or vegetable
1 bay leaf
1 tsp whole cloves
2 tsp dried summer savory
salt and pepper, to taste
freshly ground nutmeg, to taste
1/2 c sour cream or creme fraiche

Steps:

  • 1. Clean beans and leeks and wash well, peel and wash potatoes, slice sausage.
  • 2. Halve the leek lengthwise and cut the white part into fine strips. Cut the beans into approximately 1 inch pieces. Finely grate the russet potato.
  • 3. Heat the oil at medium temperature in a large stock pot and lightly sauté the leek strips. Add the sliced sausage and sauté for another 1-2 minutes.
  • 4. Add the broth, bay leaf and cloves (in a tea ball or similar to make it easier to remove later), add the beans and the finely grated potato. Simmer for 15-20 minutes until beans are tender.
  • 5. Then add the diced potatoes, cut into 1/2 inch cubes, the sausages and summer savory to the soup and simmer for another 10 minutes. Gently, stir in the sour cream or creme fraiche. Finally, season with salt, pepper and fresh grated nutmeg.
  • 6. Before serving, remove the cloves and bay leaf.

This soup was a bit too salty for my taste, but otherwise it was good. The green beans and potatoes were cooked well, and the broth was flavorful.

This soup was a bit too thick for my taste, and the green beans were a bit overcooked. I think I would try a different recipe next time.

This soup was a little bland for my taste. I think it could have used more seasoning, or maybe some fresh herbs. The green beans and potatoes were cooked well, but the broth was a bit watery.
