An Affordable German Potato Soup

German Potato Soup (Ela Vegan) is warm, cheap and filling. It’s surprising considering how much we love potatoes in England, that it’s not a soup recipe on its own. So learn to make this version instead.

The flavours come from a blend of carrot, leek, parsley and celeriac (if you can’t get hold of the last vegetable, you can sub with celery).

Before cooking, read up on food safety for people and pets (many foods are unsafe near animal friends). Just bin allium scraps (onion, garlic, leeks, shallots, chives) as like tomato/citrus/rhubarb scraps, acids could harm compost creatures. 

For tinned ingredients, pop lids inside cans (or pop ring-pulls back over holes) to avoid wildlife getting trapped).

Germany has a strong tradition of healthy food (naturopaths have the same status as GPs in Germany).  It has the highest ratio of vegans in the world (Berlin is the most vegan-friendly city on earth).
