Potato soup with Wiener Sausage

Delicious soup, one of my favorites, and even more delicious with the Wiener Sausages (long and small sausages which you can find at www.germandeli.com or a local German butcher’s or deli). The soup is easy to make; a healthy alternative for fast food. Prepare or cook it the evening before, and you will have a great lunch or dinner the next day.

Ingredients  for 4 Portions
 500 g potatoes
2 medium sized carrots
1 smaller piece celery root
1 small leek
1 smaller onion
vegetable broth or purified water
salt, pepper
2 tbsp white wine vinegar (such as Hengstenberg Altmeister) Find it here:
4 Wiener sausages – Find them here:

chopped parsley

How you’ll make it

- Peel potatoes, wash them and cut into small cubes, add them in a big pot
- Peel carrots, cut them in small cubes; chop onion; cut leek in very small slices; cut celery in small cubes
- Add the vegetable to the potatoes and fill up with broth or water until vegetable is covered 
- Bring to  a boil and let it simmer for app. 25 minutes
- Take one third of the soup into a bowl and puree it with a  mixer; this will help to thicken the soup
 - Spice with salt and pepper and vinegar
- The soup should not be too thin; if the soup is too thin add some cream or mix 1 tsp flour in hot water
- Bring the soup again to a boil, then reduce heat
- Add the Wiener sausages to the soup and let them in the soup for 5 minutes
 - Serve the soup with the sausages and add parsley  before serving

Enjoy it with fresh, dark Farmer’s bread.

Tips:
-  If you like the Bavarian Weisswurst (or Bratwurst): Peel the skin off the sausages and cut them in slices;  roll the slices in flour and fry them in hot butter or oil; serve with the soup.
- Add zucchini to the vegetable
 - Fry chopped onions in 1 tbsp olive oil until transparent, add vegetable and potatoes and fill up with water – you won’t need to use broth
