Kitchen know-how

Tips for Berlin Potato Soup

Dice vegetables the same size

Cut potatoes and soup green into similar small cubes. Then all ingredients become soft together and each spoon contains a balanced mixture.

Only one piece to pound

Smash some potato cubes directly in the pot and leave the rest completely. This binds the Berlin potato soup without turning it into a smooth puree.

Bockwurst last warm up

Place the slices after seasoning and let them rest for a few minutes. So the sausage remains juicy and does not add much salt to the soup unnecessarily.

Variations

How to adapt this recipe

Use vegetable broth and oil, omit the bockwurst and add fried herbs. Majoran and parsley continue to provide the familiar character.

First leave out 100 grams of smoked bacon and sauté the soup green in it. Reduce the amount of buckwurst and salt only after tasting.

Frequently asked questions

FAQ about Berlin Potato Soup

The Berlin species remains piecey and is bound only by crushed potatoes. Typically, soup green, marjoram, parsley and often bockwurst as inlays are.

Floating potatoes provide natural binding. If you want more solid cubes, a third can be replaced by predominantly solid potatoes.

The soup can be easily frozen without bockwurst. After thawing, heat slowly, stir vigorously and place fresh sausage slices just before eating.

Squeeze several soft potato cubes on the edge of the pot with a fork and stir in. Simmer briefly open so that the natural potato starch is distributed.
