Photo: DPATo some Germans Chancellor Angela Merkel is known affectionately as Mutti (mum), but others deride her as the “ice queen.” Will a revelation about how she cooks potato soup sway doubters into the Mutti camp? In an interview with women’s magazine Bunte that was published on Wednesday, the Chancellor revealed how she prepares her potato soup. This isn’t the first time that Merkel has strategically deployed potato soup to impress the German electorate. Before the 2009 election she revealed that potato soup was one of her favourite meals, along with roulade and red cabbage, the Hamburger Morgenpost notes. "Now that I know how she cooks her potato soup, the magic is all gone, the wonderful aura of the Chancellor," one user lamented.
