Kartoffelsuppe – German Potato Soup Recipe

Posted on by — No Comments ↓

This is a good, staple recipe for cool weather nights. The potato soup is not the creamy kind, but a thinner broth based soup.  You can add sour cream and hot dogs (Würstchen) to make it a bit heartier. This is also good with Wasa crisp bread on the side.

Difficulty: Easy.
Preparation time: 50 minutes
Servings: 6.

Ingredients:Kartoffelsuppe

  • 7 – 8 medium potatoes
  • 2 onions
  • 1/2 liter vegetable broth
  • 2 Tbs. butter
  • 1/2 liter buttermilk
  • salt, to taste
  • white pepper, to taste
  • 1/2 tsp. nutmeg
  • 1/2 tsp. sugar
  • 1 tsp vinegar
  • 2 tsp. marjoram, flakes

Hackfleischsuppe – Ground Meat Soup Recipe

Posted on by — No Comments ↓

(German version below.)

This is a great comfort soup that is very forgiving as far as substitutions. Our 5 year old loves this soup, but beware the fat content! 😉

Difficulty: simple
Preparation Time: 35 minutes
Portions: 6

Ingredients:

  • 1 pound, ground meat (I usually use turkey, but meatloaf mix is closer to the mix our German relatives use, and I have also used beef in a pinch.)
  • 1 medium onion
  • 5 bunches of leek (I have also used scallions instead, with no drastic taste change)
  • 2 cans, mushrooms OR 2 cups of fresh mushrooms
  • 2 Liters of broth, beef or vegetable works best
  • 2 c. of Velveeta, or similar type of cheese product
