Great Summer Soup: German Farmer Stew

The German farmer stew, or “Eintopf” as we call it in German, is a great German dish that can be varied with all kinds of seasonal vegetables such as zucchini, squash, broccoli or celery. You also can add white or red kidney beans with some cayenne pepper! Don’t use beef and it will be a great vegetarian soup. It becomes a healthy stew when using organic ingredients. Happy Cooking!
