About the dish

Krumplileves is a traditional potato soup consisting of potatoes, flour, onions, paprika, tomatoes, carrots, and turnips. It is typically flavored with parsley, celery, caraway seeds, salt, and pepper. When the vegetables are tender enough, and the soup develops a thick consistency, it is ready to be served, preferably with a dollop of sour cream on top. Because krumplileves is so inexpensive and easy to prepare, it is usually made at the end of the month. There are a few variations, so some people like to add sausage pieces into the soup for extra flavor.
