Directions:

  1. Wash your hands
  2. Chop carrots and add to a soup pot on medium heat with a little olive oil
  3. Chop onions and add to carrots in the pot
  4. If you are cooking your bratwurst, cut them out of their casing and get them into the pan with the carrots and onion
  5. Once the brats are almost fully cooked, you can add your pickles and juice
  6. Once carrots and onions are soft, add the chicken stock and the potatoes
  7. Let soup lightly boil for 15 minutes, or until potatoes are soft
  8. *Optional* Add rice to the soup, use as much as you like. Carly will add about a cup. If you add rice, let it simmer for another 15 minutes
