Kartoffelsuppe is a classic Bavarian-style potato soup that’s packed with sausage and vegetables. It is more of a main dish than an appetizer. In Germany, the sausage of choice would be Regensburg sausage, a short and stubby parboiled pork sausage. It can be substituted with other boiling sausages made of pork.
Ingredients
- 2 links pork sausage
- 3 tablespoons vegetable oil, or to taste
- 4 pounds potatoes, peeled and cubed
- 4 carrots, cubed
- 2 onions, finely chopped
- 1 leek, trimmed and cubed
- 3 scallions, chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, chopped
- 1 cube vegetable bouillon
- 6 cups hot water
- 1 teaspoon salt, or to taste
- 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, or to taste
- 1 pinch dried marjoram, or to taste
- 1 pinch sweet paprika, or to taste
- 1 pinch ground nutmeg, or to taste
- 1 bunch fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 bunch fresh chives, chopped
- ¼ cup sour cream (Optional)
Directions
Step 1
Place sausages in a small pot and cover with water; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until no longer pink in the center, 10 to 15 minutes. Drain. Cut into slices.
Step 2
Heat oil in a large pot over medium heat. Cook potatoes in hot oil, stirring often, until they start to crisp on the edges, about 8 minutes. Stir in carrots, onions, leek, scallions, and garlic.
Step 3
Dissolve vegetable bouillon in hot water; pour into the pot. Season soup with salt, black pepper, marjoram, paprika, and nutmeg. Bring to a boil; reduce heat and cook, covered, until carrots are tender, about 30 minutes.
Step 4
Stir sausage slices, parsley, and chives into soup. Simmer until flavors combine, about 5 minutes. Stir in sour cream just before serving.
Recipe Tip
Substitute a celery stalk for the leek if preferred.
