Name: German Sausage Soup

It's been a while since I shared any soup recipes, so let me fix that. Today I have a recipe for a wonderfully delicious and hearty soup — the kind that's truly made for winter and warms you right up. I made this soup with a meat-based broth, but chicken or vegetable broth works just as well. I used canned red beans, but you can absolutely use beans you've cooked yourself from scratch. I used ham and hunting sausages, but if you can't find hunting sausages, feel free to substitute another similar sausage you enjoy. What defines a German sausage soup is the essential combination of green cabbage, smoked meats, and caraway seeds. The caraway seeds give the soup a very distinctive and unique flavor. The soup turned out so delicious that we had it for lunch and then again for dinner! It's incredibly aromatic and filling!

How to cook german sausage soup

I used beef broth, which I made ahead of time from a beef shank. Pour the measured amount of broth into a pot and bring to a boil.

Add the potatoes, onion, and celeriac (all cut into small cubes). Cook for 15 minutes.

Add the shredded green cabbage, beans (drained) and pre-crushed tomatoes. Cook for 15 minutes. Add the spices, pepper, and a little salt.

Cut the ham into cubes and slice the sausages into rounds. Quickly pan-fry the sausages for just about 1 minute, just enough to bring out their aroma.
