Follow The Directions

01

Step
10 mins

In a large pot, combine the diced potatoes and enough salted water to cover them. Bring to a boil and cook for about 8-10 minutes, or until the potatoes are partially cooked. (8-10 minutes)

02

Step
12 mins

Add the drained green beans, vinegar, minced garlic, and chopped onion to the pot. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Simmer for another 10-12 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender. (10-12 minutes)

03

Step
1 mins

In a small bowl, whisk together the flour and cold water until you have a smooth paste. Gradually stir the flour paste into the soup, stirring constantly to prevent lumps from forming. Simmer for 2-3 minutes, or until the soup has thickened slightly. (2-3 minutes)

04

Step
1 mins

Remove the pot from the heat. Gently stir in the sour cream until well combined. Be careful not to boil the soup after adding the sour cream, as it may curdle.

05

Step
3 mins

If desired, stir in the cooked and diced Mettwurst or other German sausage just before serving. Ladle the soup into bowls and serve hot.

For a vegetarian option, omit the sausage and consider adding a teaspoon of smoked paprika for a hint of smoky flavor.
Adjust the amount of vinegar to your preference. Start with 2 tablespoons and add more to taste if desired.
To make the soup even creamier, you can use an immersion blender to partially blend it before adding the sour cream.
Fresh green beans can be used instead of canned. Blanch them first before adding to the soup.
