INSTRUCTIONS FOR Quick n Healthy Sauerkraut Soup Recipe 

⭐In a large pot, heat the oil, add the bay leaf and onion, and cook for a few minutes over medium heat, stirring regularly.

⭐Stir in the sauerkraut (and meat, if using; see *Notes below), then sauté for another minute or so. Bring to a boil with half of the stock, covered. Reduce the heat and simmer for 20 minutes, stirring periodically.

⭐Add the remaining ingredients (NOT the salt), including the remaining liquid, stir, cover, return to a boil, and simmer for 50 minutes on low heat. DO NOT add salt until the soup is thoroughly cooked because the sauerkraut is salty; instead, taste the soup to determine how much salt is needed.

NOTES:

◾Look for sauerkraut that has no preservatives (other than salt) and is yellow rather than grey in hue.

◾Do not add salt until the soup is finished and you may taste it to determine how much salt, if any, is required.

◾To create beef kapusniak soup, combine the meat and sauerkraut and heat for around 20 minutes before continuing to cook according to the recipe instructions.

◾If you make this sauerkraut soup using smoked meat, use water instead of stock (both the meat and the stock are salty). Adjust the amounts to your liking.

◾Spices: add cayenne or loads of black pepper for a little bite, and smoked paprika (unless you are (Unless you’re using smoked meats in the soup). Some kapusniak recipes use marjoram and caraway seeds. Use 1 teaspoon of each if desired.

◾Refrigerate for up to three days.

◾Individual portions can be frozen for up to three months.

◾To save time making this soup, prepare the vegetables while the sauerkraut and onion cook.
