Sometimes pasta like spdtzle or csipetke is added and boiled in the soup for the last few minutes. Add hot chilies if you want a hotter soup, or use hot Hungarian paprika instead of some of the mild type.
This is the favorite midnight snack of the Bavarians. It is served in bowls or in individual pewter casserole-porringers in the crowded Munich beer halls. To be at its best, this soup should be made the day before you intend to serve it.
This is a wonderful potato salad for any occasion, especially picnics! It is even better the next day. The authors of the cookbook explain the name came from the fact that the salad ...creates a confetti effect that anticipates a celebration.
Enjoy! --Rebecca
Leftover meat can be served cold or chopped with vegetable for hash. Makes 4-6 servings. You can dilute broth with water to use in baking bean or pea soup.
It is particularly enjoyable when first cooked because of the fresh crunch of the slightly undercooked vegeables. Reheated, it loses a little of the crunch, but the flavors blend together seamlessly.
