Introduction

I actually had left over bratwurst from the 4th of July. So I made a soup for the next day because we were going to be in and out of the house all day.
The curry powder was a mistake, but turned out OK.
The bratwurst we used was a local shops homemade type. The meat was more finely ground than with the commercial ones. Texture was closer to kielbasa.

The first attempt was a bit bland. Any suggestions for flavor without adding salt? I actually had left over bratwurst from the 4th of July. So I made a soup for the next day because we were going to be in and out of the house all day.

    I am going to try this recipe, but I'm going to omit the curry powder and garlic powder. I'm going to reduce the amount of water and add at least one bottle of a dark creamy beer, more likely two. I will also add onions. I am undecided as to whether or not I'll add the bay leaves. And salt for potat - 3/25/10
