I came across these two German Potato Soup recipes that sound yummy-and perfect for a cold, snowy day! One is from the Plaza Restaurant and the other from the Concourse Grill.
German Potato Soup: Plaza Restaurant
1 Medium onion, sliced
1/4 cup butter
3 Medium leeks (white part only)
2 lb (about 6 medium) potatoes
1 Ham bone, any size
1/4 tsp dried thyme leaves
6 cup chicken or beef stock
1/2 pt heavy cream
salt and white pepper to taste
Croutons
Brown onions to a light golden color in butter in a saucepan. Clean leeks well and slice. Peel potatoes and slice. Add leeks, potatoes, ham bone, thyme and stock (or water) to onion. Cover and simmer until potatoes are very soft. Remove ham bone, discard. Cool potato/leek mixture slightly. Puree in a food processor or blender and return to pot. Add cream and cook a few minutes longer. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve with croutons.
Makes about 6 servings.
German Potato Soup: Concourse Grill
1 cup onions, diced small
1 cup celery, diced small
1 cup carrots, diced small
2 cups potatoes, diced small
4 Tbsp bacon fat
4 chicken bouillon cubes
1/3 cups leeks, diced
1 tsp marjoram
1 1/2 cups instant potatoes
4 quarts of water
Salt & white pepper
Saute onions, celery & carrots in bacon fat for 5 minutes. Slowly add water, bouillon, leeks & potatoes and cook at a rolling simmer for about 20 minutes. Add instant potatoes, marjoram and salt & pepper to taste. Simmer 15 minutes.
I have been searching & searching for that chili recipe for another Diser for quite some time now. I do hope I-or someone else-can find it for you guys! I will look around for the tomato soup recipe and will also add it to the list of requested recipes.
