Deutsche Küche Harvest Potato Soup

Last Updated on October 22, 2021

Deutsche Küche is probably one of the most popular house brands at Aldi. The phrase means “German cuisine.” Aldi — which has its roots in Germany — usually rotates Deutsche Küche products onto its shelves for a limited time about twice a year, prompting fans to stock up on goodies that include pickles, sweet mustard, schnitzel, cream cakes, whole grain mustard, potato dishes, and Jaffa cakes.

While most Deutsche Küche foods are only in Aldi stores for a short time, I’ve noticed a few types of soup that appear to be Regular Buys that are stocked year-round at Aldi. Those include a harvest veggie and noodle soup, a pea soup, and a potato soup. Here, I’m trying the potato soup.

Deutsche Kuche Harvest Potato Soup

Deutsche Küche Harvest Potato Soup costs $2.09 for a 28-ounce can at the time of publication. It’s a product of Germany, and the label describes it as “thick and creamy, accented with subtle flavors of potatoes, carrots and leeks.”

Ingredients are: potatoes (sulfites), water, carrots, onions, canola oil, salt, modified corn starch, dried skim milk, leeks, sugar, wheat flour, spices (includes turmeric for color), guar gum, and artificial flavorings.

If you’re watching out for allergens, this contains wheat, milk, and egg. It may contain soy, tree nuts (coconut), fish (pollock, Atlantic salmon), or crustacean shellfish (shrimp, lobster, crab).

Deutsche Kuche Harvest Potato Soup

This is a decent canned soup. It features small cubed pieces of potatoes and carrots in a thick broth with a flavor that, while not exactly the same, reminds me somewhat of Campbell’s Condensed Bean with Bacon Soup I ate as a kid. I toasted a couple of pieces of bread slathered with butter and garlic powder to dip in this soup to make it a more substantial lunch. It’s a soup that could easily be “doctored” with the addition of diced cooked ham or sliced green onions.

The Verdict:

Deutsche Küche Harvest Potato Soup is one of the few Deutsche Küche products Aldi appears to sell all year. It’s not bad for a canned soup, with small chunks of potatoes and carrots in a rich, thick broth. It goes well with a hearty bread for dunking, or make it fancier by adding diced ham. If you’re a fan of Aldi’s German products, this is worth a try.

  1. It’s not tasty at all. Instead of selling this soup I’d prefer to have the pork schnitzel all year in place

  2. The salt content is so high. Why do they do this?
    All this salt is not good for us.

  3. Disappointing. Tasted like a spoonful of salt with a hint of potato. Such a shame. I was really looking forward to having this soup, now it all goes in the trash.

    • I like the taste of the Deutsch Küche Soups but the potato Soup has way to much salt content not good for for older people with high blood pressure.

  4. Ummm… I’m glad I only got one can after reading these reviews. LOL

  5. I was shocked at the amount of salt in this soup. I consider it inedible

  6. I actually love it but don’t see it on the shelves anymore?

  7. Worst soup I have ever had. Just a pinch above canned water. Not thick or creamy. Has no taste or substance. Wanted a good potato soup and got less than flavored water. My review would be a -10.

  8. I like it, but will eat low sodium the rest of the day. Thanks for the article 🙂

  9. We really like this soup. I plan to use it as a base for making Chicken Pot Pie.

  10. I love this soup and every soup I have tried by Deutsch Kuche. It has such rich flavoring much better than most American soups from the grocery store.
