I bought the game Cooking Guide DS a few years ago and when I looked through it one evening, the German food seemed very appealing and I said to myself that I will make them for dinner one day. A good few months passed and this soup is the I've made from the list.***

ingredients:
- 300 g potatoes
- 200 g carrots
- 1 onion
- 2 slices bacon (the long types - fat removed)
- 15 g butter
- 800 mL fresh chicken stock
(put way more than this but don't have the actual measurements) - salt and pepper to season
- 1 bay leaf
- nutmeg powder (as required)
- Peel the potatoes and dice into 1 cm cubes. (Leave to soak in water or it will oxidise)
Peel the carrots and dice into 1 cm cubes.
Peel the onion and dice finely.
Cut bacon into 1 cm squares. - Melt butter in a saucepan over moderate heat.
Add onion and fry until transparent.
Add the carrot and fry until tender.
Add potato and bacon and lightly fry them. - Add the stock to the fried ingredients and add the bay leaf.
- Put the lid on and bring soup to the boil before turning to a low heat and simmering for approximately 20 - 30 minutes (or until vegetables are soft).
Whilst the soup is boiling, remove the foam and oil from the surface for a clearer coloured soup. - Season with salt, pepper and nutmeg. Turn off heat.
Well didn't have any bay leaves or nutmeg powder so had to leave them out. Hopefully will attempt frikadellen - german meatball patties next Sunday :)
