Translated from German, the word eintopf (eintopf) means "one pot". This is a hearty rich peasant soup, so thick that it can simultaneously be the first and second course in the "one pot". Eintopf is prepared from those products that are available: meat, chicken or fish; potatoes, cabbage and beans; noodles and cereals; vegetables and even fruits; as a rule, sausage, wieners or sausages are added to the eintopf. German housewives are free to improvise and replace some products with others. Every family has their own homemade recipes for this dish.
