anybody have any homade german soup recipes?

Question

my grandma used to make one, took her all day...it was such a pain to make she only made it on my dad's birthday...now they are both gone

Answer 1

Its sad when we think about "the good old days"and realize that in our excitement for "all things now" we did appreciate the old fashioned enough to take the time to note it down.I'm in the same boat. I now want those old fashioned recipes to make for my kids but my grandmother is too old to remember them.

i hope you enjoy this recipe. I'm pretty certain its will not be what your grand mother made but its a tasty soup.
