Instructions

Working time approx. 20 minutes; Cooking/baking time approx. 30 minutes; Total time approx. 50 minutes

Peel and dice the onion. Brown it in oil with the bacon in a large pot. Add the minced meat and let it brown. Stir occasionally to ensure it is evenly distributed and cooked. Meanwhile, clean, wash, halve, and finely slice the leek. If you find any sand while cutting, wash it again. Add the leek to the browned minced meat, let it brown slightly, and deglaze with vegetable stock. Wash and peel the potatoes, dice them into small cubes, and add them. Simmer the soup for about 20 minutes. Finally, add the processed cheese (or cream), and the sour cream, and bring back to a boil briefly. Season with salt, pepper, and nutmeg. To serve, ladle the soup into deep bowls or a soup bowl and serve hot! Tip: Watch our video on homemade vegetable stock!
