hourKartoffelsuppe. Now that’s a mouthful. And so is this soup! We love how this soup starts out with an aromatic mixture of onion, leek, carrot and celery root. That combo is called Suppengrun and is the German equivalent to French Mirepoix – read all about aromatic mixtures from around the world in our blog.
Oktoberfest Blend lends super savory flavor to this simple-to-prepare soup. Potatoes and tomatoes simmer in this brothy soup that’s sure to cure what ails you. Hearty and delicious, it’s time for Kartoffelsuppe!
