Instructions

Working time approx. 45 minutes; Total time approx. 45 minutes

Dice the sausage, bell peppers, cucumbers, and onions (the onions, of course, into smaller cubes). Heat the oil in a large pot. Add the sausage and fry until lightly browned. Add the onions and fry for about two minutes. VERY IMPORTANT: Stir frequently. Add the peppers and diced cucumbers and simmer with the lid closed and the heat low for about 15-20 minutes. Stir frequently, as otherwise everything risks burning. Now stir in the leccho, ketchup, cream, and sour cream. Mix thoroughly. Add the desired amount of chili. Bring to a boil and then add enough water until the soup reaches the desired consistency. Season to taste with stock powder, marjoram, and salt. Let the whole thing simmer over low heat for about 45-60 minutes, stirring occasionally.
