    • Kid-Friendly Soup with Potatoes and Sausages

    A kid-friendly soup? Is there any soup that deserves such a name? Yes, of course. This one. Carrots, potatoes, and sausages. Nothing more, nothing less. So little and yet so much. Somehow magical. Where is the magic?

    Well, if you have kids, you will understand the magic. The magic of going through a meal completely silent, the magic of not hearing โ€œI am not eating that or that,โ€ or โ€œCan I leave that out?โ€ or โ€œSomehow I don't really like it,โ€ or the best one, โ€œIt tastes very good, but I don't like itโ€.

    There is nothing NOTHING to which they can object here. Only carrots, potatoes, and sausages. And I have yet to meet a child who doesn't like the three.

    Tips

    • There isn't really much I can say; you only need some potatoes, onions, carrots, and sausages.
    • A bit of peeling, chopping, and cooking, and you're done.
    • It doesn't really matter what kind of sausage you use.
    • I bought some quite spicy, smoked, typical German pork sausages this time. I like them because they add some extra heartiness.
    • Otherwise, any kind of sausage is your friend here.
    • The only thing to keep in mind is to make sure that the sausages are cooked through in the soup, in case you are using uncooked sausages.
    • If you are using pre-cooked sausages like wieners, frankfurters, or sausages sold from the shelf (not refrigerator) of the supermarket, you just need to slice and heat them through in the soup.
    • And if you have leftover oven-cooked bratwurst or other grilled sausages, don't be shy; chop them and reheat them in this kids' soup.

    Ingredients 

    • 1.5 lbs carrots
    • 1.5 lbs potatoes
    • 2 onions
    • 1 tablespoon butter
    • 3 cups vegetable stock or chicken stock
    • 4 sausages See note
    • some parsley
    • fine sea salt and freshly ground black pepper

    Instructions

    • Peel and chop the carrots and the potatoes. Finely chop the onions.
    • Saute: Melt the butter in a soup pan and cook the onions until translucent. Add the carrots and continue cooking for about 5 minutes. Add the potatoes and keep cooking for about 3 minutes.
    • Cook: Add the stock, cover the pan, bring to a boil, and cook for about 15 minutes. In the meantime, cut the sausages into slices. Lower the heat and add the sausage slices to the soup. Leave for about 5 minutes until the sausages are cooked or heated through, and the vegetables are soft.
    • Adjust the taste with salt and pepper and sprinkle the chopped parsley on top.

    Notes

    You can use almost any kind of sausages or leftover grilled bratwurst/sausages.
    If using raw sausages, make sure you cook them through in the soup.
    Cooked sausages or something like wiener/frankfurters only needs to be heated through.
