"This is an old German recipe that can be enhanced by adding Mettwurst or your favorite cooked and diced German sausage to the soup just before serving, that way the soup won't get greasy tasting."

Delicious, I used fresh green beans and put in at begining. I like mine with more vinegar and used almost a 1/4 cup. Didn't use any sausage. It brings back good childhood memories. As a bonus, it does not get easier than this.

I did the recipe as stated and then added thinly sliced celery and chopped radish greens. It was incredible. I used fresh string beans and started them at the same time as the potatoes. Thank you for the recipe:)

Delicious! I added more vinegar, as I enjoy the taste, and kept it vegetarian. My whole family loved it and my husband has asked me to make it again. This is going into our permanent meal rotation.

This was very good! Since I am not a fan of sausage, I used shredded chicken instead. Very delicious!
