Cooking method

Cooking time: 30 min

Step 1:

Gather everything you'll need for the eintopf. Peel the potatoes, carrots, onion, and garlic.
Step 2:

Cut the carrots and potatoes into evenly sized medium cubes. Chop the onion fairly coarsely too.
Step 3:

Heat the vegetable oil in a heavy-bottomed pot (a Dutch oven works great and makes it even tastier). Add the carrots and onion and sauté, stirring constantly, for ten minutes over medium heat.
Step 4:

Add the potatoes and cook everything together, stirring, for about 5 minutes.
Step 5:

Turn the heat to high. Pour in the broth (chicken, vegetable, or even just boiling water—it'll be just as good). Add the bay leaf. Once it boils, lower the heat to a minimum and cook, covered, until everything is tender (about ten minutes). Slice the sausage into rounds (peel off the casing first if needed).
Step 6:

Finely chop or press the garlic. Add the sausage and garlic to the pot and turn the heat back to high. Season with salt to taste (go easy—the soup gets saltier from the sausage as it sits).
Step 7:

As soon as the soup starts to bubble, stir in the finely chopped parsley and immediately take the pot off the heat. Cover and let the eintopf rest at least fifteen minutes.
Step 8:

Season with pepper to taste when serving.

If you want a tasty, filling meal for the whole family, give this Carrot Eintopf a try. Eintopf is a very thick soup usually built on chicken, meat, or vegetable broth—and you can really add any vegetables you have on hand. In place of kabanosy you can use any smoked or semi-smoked sausage, or even smoked frankfurters or other smoked meats. Serve the eintopf with a dollop of sour cream and a sprinkle of allspice or black pepper. Enjoy!
