When we were in Germany, we had lunch at a restaurant in Potsdam, where I had this wonderful potato and sausage soup. Yesterday was rainy and cool, so it was a perfect day for soup - and just happened to coincide with the Iron Chef theme! So here it is:
German Potato and Sausage Soup
5 pounds potatoes peeled and diced to 1/2-inch pieces
6 carrots, peeled and diced
1 large white onion, peeled and diced
4 celery stalks, chopped
2 teaspoons salt
3 pounds Polish kielbasa, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
3 cloves fresh garlic, minced
1/8 teaspoon crushed dried red pepper
1 teaspoon black pepper, coarsely ground
Place potatoes, carrots, onion and celery in a large pot; add water to cover by about one inch. Add 1 tsp. salt, then cover and bring to a simmer over medium heat.
Add enough water to a frying pan to cover the bottom; add sausage, turn heat to medium, and cook till the water evaporates and the sausage browns a bit. When browned, remove sausage to a cutting board and cut each piece in half; add to soup.
Add parsley, black pepper, red pepper, remaining salt and garlic. Cover and continue cooking on low heat for 2 hours. Serve.
