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.

◾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.
