Eintopf (One-Pot Stew)

Eintopf literally means “one pot” and can refer to any number of popular one-pot German soups that are often made according to family traditions. Eintopf can be a useful opportunity to repurpose leftovers or clear out the pantry. Cleanup for this meal is also supremely easy, often because it is typically consumed right away. Few Germans would argue that a hearty sausage and vegetable soup is not welcome on a brisk day, though that excuse is rarely needed to justify making this classic dish.
