Description

Slow Cooker German Potato Soup with Sausages – Rich and hearty soup featuring potatoes, sausages, and comforting flavors. Perfect for a crowd.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 pounds (900g) Yukon Gold potatoes, peeled and diced into 1-inch cubes
  • 1 pound (450g) smoked German sausages (such as bratwurst or kielbasa), sliced into ½-inch rounds
  • 1 large yellow onion (about 1 cup), finely diced
  • 2 medium carrots (about ¾ cup), diced
  • 2 celery stalks (about ½ cup), chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 6 cups (1.4 liters) chicken or vegetable broth
  • 2 bay leaves
  • 1 tablespoon caraway seeds
  • 1 teaspoon dried marjoram
  • 1 cup (240ml) heavy cream
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Prepare The Vegetables Begin by thoroughly washing all vegetables. Peel and dice the potatoes into 1-inch cubes, remembering to cut about ⅓ of them into smaller pieces as mentioned in the pro tips. Finely dice the onion, carrots, and celery stalks. Mince the garlic cloves and set aside. This preparation ensures even cooking and proper texture development in your **Slow Cooker German Potato Soup with Sausages**.
  2. Step 2: Brown The Sausages Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sliced sausages in a single layer (you may need to work in batches) and brown for 2-3 minutes per side until they develop a nice caramelized color. You’re not cooking them through, just developing flavor. Transfer the sausages to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess fat.
  3. Step 3: Assemble In The Slow Cooker Add the diced potatoes, onions, carrots, celery, and minced garlic to your slow cooker. Sprinkle in the caraway seeds, marjoram, salt, and pepper. Place the bay leaves on top. Pour in the chicken broth, making sure all ingredients are submerged. Add the browned sausages and gently stir to combine everything.
  4. Step 4: Slow Cook Cover your slow cooker and set it to low for 7-8 hours or high for 4-5 hours. The low and slow cooking allows the potatoes to break down partially and the flavors to meld beautifully. Your kitchen will be filled with the amazing aroma of this German potato sausage soup as it simmers throughout the day.
  5. Step 5: Finish The Soup About 30 minutes before serving, stir in the heavy cream. Remove the bay leaves. Using the back of a wooden spoon, gently mash some of the potatoes against the side of the slow cooker to thicken the soup to your desired consistency. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed, adding more salt and pepper if necessary.
  6. Step 6: Serve Ladle the hot **Slow Cooker German Potato Soup with Sausages** into bowls and garnish with freshly chopped parsley. This final touch adds a pop of color and fresh flavor that beautifully contrasts with the rich, hearty soup.
