My bean soup

Ingredients for 4 servings:

• 1 ½ kg potatoes
• 1 bunch of soup vegetables
• 4 sausages (Mettwurst)
• 1 gr. can/n beans, white
• salt and pepper
• possibly Maggi

Instructions

Working time approx. 30 minutes; Total time approx. 30 minutes

Peel the potatoes, cut them into sticks, and place them in a pot. Finely chop the vegetables and add them to the pot. Place the sausages on top. Add enough water to just cover the vegetables. Bring to a boil and simmer over medium heat for 20-30 minutes until soft. Add the white beans. I like to use beans with vegetables; they’re tastier and a bit smaller. If you hate canned food, you can of course use dried beans the classic way and cook them until soft. Remove the sausages, cover, and simmer over very low heat for another 5 minutes. Meanwhile, chop the sausages. Using a masher, puree the soup until it’s thickened but still contains enough whole vegetables. It should never be pureed, so don’t use an immersion blender. Return the sausages to the pot and season well with salt and a little pepper. If you like, you can also add Maggi. And if you added too much water, you can add 1 tablespoon of cornstarch, diluted with a little water. Personally, I like my soup nice and thick.
