Vegetable Soup with Pancakes #Recipe

The other day I made a traditional German dinner and didn’t even think twice that this is totally new and somewhat different for my family and friends. For me, it was totally normal until I got crazy looks when I mentioned “Vegetable & Pancake soup“ for dinner. It dawned on me that my family nor my friends had never heard of Pancakes in their veggie soup and at home in Germany that’s a comfort food all year round. I can’t believe that I have never dished it up, because my family at first turned their noses, ended up loving it and asking for seconds and another day to add the Veggie & Pancake soup to the meal plan.

That being said, I wasn’t planning on posting this on the blog and didn’t really take pictures, but until I realized that everyone thought I was crazy and had never heard of a Pancake soup, that’s when I changed my mind and knew I just had to share it with you. So, my apologies for the lack of pictures. I promise I will update the post soon with better pictures. But it’s fairly simple, so I know you can do it for your family just as well, I bet they will love it, too.

You need this to make your Savory Pancakes

• 4 eggs
• 300 ml milk
• 250 g flour
• handful of fresh parsley, chopped
• dash of salt
• butter for the pan

This is how to make the Savory Pancakes

1. Take the flour, add the milk, eggs and salt mix it to a liquid dough, you don’t want it thick, it has to be runny.
2. Add the parsley to the liquid dough mixture and mix for a few seconds
3. melt butter and add one ladle of the pancake mix to the pan, swirl your pan around to get a very thin pancake, let it brown and remove from pan to a plate; repeat with the remaining pancake mixture till you have a stack of pancakes.
4. Once the pancakes are all done, let them cool and then cut into strips…. set aside till your soup is done and add as a topping to your soup.

This is what you need for your vegetable soup

• Carrots
• Peeled, cut into cubes potatoes
• Leek, washed and cut into rings
• Celery root, cut into cubes

This is how to make your Vegetable Soup

Add all the vegetables and the stock to a stockpot, bring to a boil and boil for about 20 minutes till all the veggies are soft and tender; add your parsley last, right before serving. That’s it, your soup is done; add the pancakes and enjoy!!!

This is a simple, yet filling dinner that everyone enjoyed in my house even after turning their noses up of pancakes in their soup.
