The recipe for this potato soup comes from the rural low mountain range of the Catholic Rhön in the German region of Hesse. It's quick and easy to make and very tasty. The special feature is the addition of sauerkraut at the end of the cooking time. It is sprinkled with parsley and served hot. A true down to earth soul warmer.
