Mitternachtsuppe: yet another culinary experiment

Yesterday, I tried my hand at cooking Mitternachtsuppe, a German "New Year´s soup". It has a lot of tomato, a lot of sausage, meat and yummy yummy kinds of beans. Also, it´s spicy. Have I ever mentioned how much I love spicy food? Well, consider it mentioned. I love it.

Voilá, our soup! (that´s my Dad holding the bowl, by the way)

Stews and soups are generally fun to try, because they´re easy to make. It turned out really nice! As spicy as we wanted it. To my surprise, the sausages floated. So we had to make sure to stir the soup before serving.

We used the following recipe: German Midnight Soup

The one significant variation we introduced (besides reducing the quantities of everything proportionally--and still, look at what a huge pot we ended up with) was adding a bit of green pepper to the sauteé, so that the onion wouldn´t feel lonely (LoL). Oh, and we completely forgot to add the bacon (a shame! We had some in the fridge ready and everything). Still, it turned out great; we weren´t able to resist snacking on it even before it was dinnertime.

General rating: Success!
