🧂 Ingredients
(This version works beautifully for a classic German comfort dish — like German Potato Soup (Kartoffelsuppe) or Cabbage and Sausage Skillet. You can adapt as needed.)
- 1 lb smoked sausage or bratwurst, sliced
- 4–5 medium potatoes, peeled and diced
- 3 carrots, chopped
- 1 onion, diced
- 2 celery stalks, chopped
- 4 cups chicken or vegetable broth
- 1 cup milk or cream (optional for a creamy version)
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- ½ teaspoon nutmeg (a classic German touch!)
- Fresh parsley for garnish
👩🍳 Instructions
- Sauté the base:
In a large pot, melt butter and sauté onions, carrots, and celery until softened and fragrant. - Add potatoes and broth:
Stir in the potatoes, sausage, salt, pepper, and nutmeg. Pour in the broth and bring to a gentle boil. - Simmer to perfection:
Reduce the heat and simmer for 25–30 minutes, until the potatoes are tender and the flavors have melded beautifully. - (Optional) Make it creamy:
Stir in milk or cream for a richer, more comforting texture. - Finish and serve:
Sprinkle with fresh parsley and serve hot with crusty bread or homemade rolls — just like Nana did. -
