My husband and I first enjoyed this soup on a tour of Bavaria. When I asked for the recipe, it was delivered to our table, written in English-but with no amounts for any of the ingredients! After a few trials, I got it "right" and forwarded the recipe to several of the people that were in our tour group.

Not bad, but not great either. The soup was a bit bland for my taste, even after I added some extra salt and pepper. I also found the texture to be a bit too thick. Overall, I wouldn't make this soup again.

Easy to make and delicious! I used Yukon Gold potatoes and they turned out perfectly. I also added a bit of garlic and paprika for extra flavor. Will definitely make this again.
