Now, this is not a traditional German soup, but rather a soup created by an Oma for her granddaughter, with German-loved ingredients and methods. :)
A Bit of This and a Bit of That ...
- You can use water and bouillon cubes to make the chicken stock. Vegetarian? Use vegetable stock instead.
- Sprinkle each bowl of soup with shredded cheddar cheese.
- Replace 1 cup (240 milliliters) of milk with 1 cup (240 milliliters) of 5% cream for an extra-creamy potato soup recipe.
Oma Says,
I love that Alana inspired me to make this creamy soup. The first time she tried it, her comment was, "Oma, this is my new favorite!"
If you would like another easy potato soup, but this time traditional German potato soup that's chunkier, check out my homemade potato soup ... just like Oma made!
We Germans, especially from the northern part of Germany, LOVE our potatoes. You'll find all sorts of easy potato recipes on this website.

Germany and Its Potatoes
Potatoes were brought to Germany in the 1700s but not widely accepted. In fact, it's said that Frederick the Great gave the farmers potatoes to plant.
They, in turn, threw these strange tubers to the dogs. The farmers then reasoned that because the dogs refused to touch them, they couldn't be good.
But my, how things changed! Germany became one of the world's largest producers of potatoes. There are now so many varieties available in German stores.
