This is a really tasty german wheat kernel soup that gets better and more potent when cooked for a longer period of time. Once cooked for the suggested period of time. one can divide the soup into two pots add water [bringing it back to its original amount in each pot] and a little bit of spice to taste and recook it will taste just as good as origionally [with the same potency].

Wheat kernels can also be purchased at many health food stores. I think I'll have a lot of trouble finding the knee bones, but I really want to try this dish so I think I'll improvise with ox tails..what do you think? It sound SO rich and delicious...more
