There sure were a lot of counselors, especially in the circle of the gardener, as required by the then "newfangled" precious potato could be cultivated best in a big way. Who brought the potato, ultimately, to Europe, from the until today, there are probably at least 100 varieties, is not so clear. The Italians were the first who cultivated it on a large scale. Of course, who else ? . Is the love for the potato, most of the European Nations are unanimous, there is a limitless potato reigns, so to speak-love.
I agree with the circle unconditionally. Because on my diet, the potato is not indispensable, for me, it's part of childhood. I love them in all variations, whether roasted, pounded to a pulp ? or just "natural" back in the Spaniard likes to say.
In the context of the current Blogger Challenge of ALDI SÜD with the theme "We are the potato, to celebrate!", I start, therefore, my personal La-Ola-wave for the potatoes. It is, for me, every Time a culinary, if I deal with you in the kitchen. Really, without any nonsense, I am the biggest potato Fan felt on our planet ? , also because I'm always fascinated by how versatile it is.
We celebrate the potato
In this Blogger Challenge-round I decided to process the potato in a classic potato soup. In the potato soup, the potato, in my opinion, one of their hearty roles, and a warm, vitamin-rich soup strengthens the body and the soul of days, just to cool autumn. Although I have to say that almost all potato soups, so, my, more of a "stew" than a soup ? . I have my potato soup with leeks and carrots, also because of the vitamins, but also because I find that these two vegetables taste to harmonize incredibly well with the potato. The fresh, healthy herbs and protein-rich Emmentaler cheese in the form of the icing on the cake.
I therefore also called the allgäu potato soup, because, strangely enough, the potato soup reminds me always to the mountain Hiking. If we go out in the morning when the morning mist, around noon welded to stop by Highness in a mountain hut to eat. There's nothing better to warm you up and strengthens as a hearty potato soup. With or without the "Wiener sausage", so sausage insert.
