German Potato Soup

DESCRIPTION
Rhineland-Palatinum is famous for potatoes. We usually eat Plum Cake or apple cake with it for a satisfying (and cheap) meal. We also believe that wine is a part of the daily food.

Here is the link to a website with lovely pictures from my home "state" Rhineland Palatinum"

This is not my family's recipe. That i have not written down since i learned the old-fashioned way: a dash of this and a pinch of that...
This recipe is from a cookbook with recipes from that region.
I will make that soup soon and jot down some notes and post them.
There are only small differences
