German Potato Soup Ingredients :

  • 4 large potatoes, peeled and diced
  • 1 large onion, chopped
  • 2 carrots, diced
  • 2 stalks celery, diced
  • 4 cups vegetable or chicken broth
  • 1 cup milk or cream
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
  • Optional: 1-2 smoked sausages or bacon, diced (for added flavor)

How to make German Potato Soup :

1

Sauté Vegetables:In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion, carrots, and celery. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes, until the vegetables are softened.

2

Add Potatoes and Broth:Stir in the diced potatoes and broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer. Cook for about 20-25 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.

3

Blend the Soup:Use an immersion blender to puree the soup until smooth, or carefully transfer it to a blender in batches. If you prefer a chunkier texture, blend only half of the soup.

4

Add Milk and Season:Return the blended soup to the pot (if using a blender). Stir in the milk or cream, and season with salt and pepper to taste. Heat gently until warmed through.

5

Add Optional Ingredients:If using smoked sausages or bacon, add them to the pot and heat until warmed.

6

Serve:Ladle the soup into bowls, garnish with fresh parsley, and enjoy!
