Oma's Potato Soup

This is a soup my Grandmother (Oma) and my Mother made all the time. The best part is the poached egg...yes, it sounds unusual, but trust me, it is delicious.

Serves 6-8

Ingredients:
4 Tbl Olive Oil
3 Medium Onions, chopped finely
6 Tbl Chopped Parsley
4 Tbl Paprika
5 Cups chicken broth
5 Cups water (you can add more broth than water if you like)
8 Medium-large potatoes, peeled and cut into 1/2" cubes
2-3 Carrots, cut into 2" pieces
Salt and Pepper
Eggs (number depends on how many your are serving)

Directions:
Saute onion in oil over medium heat until the onion is soft and translucent. Add parsley and paprika and mix with onions for about a minute, making sure not to burn the paprika. Add water and stock and stir together. Add potatoes and carrots, and simmer over medium-low heat for 15-20 minutes, or until potatoes are soft. Salt and pepper to taste.

Bring soup to a calm boil (medium heat) and add eggs to poach in broth (1 egg per person, approx. 7-10 minutes).

Serve with flat bread or fried pizza dough.
