Crock-pot Recipe: German Potato Soup

07:38 PM, Wednesday, October 1, 2008 .. Posted in Meal Recipes .. 0 comments .. Link

This is a yummy recipe that until I was cleaning out my recipe binder yesterday morning, had been completely forgotten!

Before coming to North Carolina 10+ years ago, we lived in Germany for a couple years. My husband had been visiting with the neighbors, when the neighbor came to see me. The smell wafting from her apartment was incredible, and my hubby had tasted the source of that heavenly scent. It was German Potato Soup. She had come to give me the recipe.

So as I was working on my menu for the next two weeks, I decided it was time to try this out. It doesn't make a whole lot, about 6 standard size bowls. So dinner tonight was potato soup and my pumpernickel bread.

4 large potatoes, washed and cubed
4 c beef broth (a typical carton)
1 onion, chopped
1 leek, diced and rinsed
3 carrots, diced
1 c chopped cabbage
1 Tb dry parsley
1 bay leaf
1/2 tsp caraway seeds

2 tsp fresh black pepper
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp nutmeg
1/2 c sour cream
1/2 lb bacon, cooked and crumbled

In a crock-pot, add the first 9 ingredients. Stir and cover. Cook on low heat in your crock-pot for 7-8 hours.

Remove bay leaf and discard. Add pepper, salt, nutmeg and sour cream.

With a potato masher, mash the soup until most of the big chunks are gone, this will stir in the ingredients you just added.

Serve and top with bacon.

Enjoy!
