Friss-dich-dumm-Suppe is a creamy, comforting German soup made with ground meat, cheese, and vegetables. It’s a one-pot wonder that’s quick to prepare, filling, and perfect for the whole family.

Ingredients

  • 400 g ground meat (beef or pork mix)
  • 1 onion, finely chopped
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 200 g processed cheese (cream or herb-flavored)
  • 800 ml vegetable broth
  • 200 ml heavy cream
  • 2 carrots, diced
  • 1 bell pepper, diced
  • 100 g leek, sliced
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • Salt, pepper, and ground nutmeg to taste
  • Oil for frying

Instructions

  1. Heat a large pot over medium heat with a little oil. Add the ground meat and cook until browned and crumbly.
  2. Stir in the chopped onion and garlic, sautéing until translucent.
  3. Add the carrots, bell pepper, and leek. Cook for about 5 minutes to soften the vegetables.
  4. Pour in the vegetable broth and bring everything to a boil.
  5. Reduce the heat, add the heavy cream and processed cheese. Stir until the cheese has melted and the soup becomes creamy.
  6. Season with Worcestershire sauce, salt, pepper, and a pinch of nutmeg.
  7. Let the soup simmer gently for about 10 minutes, allowing the flavors to blend.
  8. If desired, blend part of the soup with an immersion blender for extra creaminess, then return it to the pot.
  9. Serve hot, ideally with fresh crusty bread or croutons.

Notes

  • Use plant-based meat and dairy-free cheese for a vegetarian version.
  • Add vegetables like zucchini, corn, peas, or mushrooms for more variety.
  • Cheddar, gouda, or cream cheese can replace the processed cheese.
  • Soup can be frozen for up to 2 months in portions.
  • Leftovers keep well in the fridge for 3 days and reheat beautifully.
