Guten tag! It really is a fine day if you're cooking up some German Potato Soup! This hearty, vegetarian soup (which can easily be made vegan if you prefer) is designed to be as thick as possible, making each bite feel substantial and satisfying rather than watery. The fluffy potatoes, bright carrots, and savory onion all combine with the delicate sweetness of the marjoram for a flavor reminiscent of the high hinterlands of Europe. Throw a few sausage slices (meat or vegetarian) on top and you have a full meal in a bowl just inviting you to sit down and enjoy! Guten appetit on your German Potato Soup!
