EASY SAUERKRAUT SOUP

Steps:

• First, peel the onions and the potato and chop both into small pieces. Also, peel and cut up the garlic or press it through a garlic press.
• Drain the sauerkraut and squeeze out any excess liquid. This is especially important if you're using sauerkraut that is kept in a vinegar-based solution. If you don't squeeze out some of the liquid, the soup will taste very vinegary.
• Cut the pancetta bacon into small pieces if it's not already pre-cut.
• Heat oil in a large pot, then add the pancetta bacon and fry it on medium-high heat for around 5 minutes until the fatty pieces appear clear. Then add the chopped onion pieces and sauté them on medium heat for around 5-6 minutes until translucent. Stir regularly.
• Once the onions are soft and the pancetta bacon has browned slightly, add the chopped potato and garlic. Sauté them for 2-3 minutes as well.
• Next, add the tomato paste and paprika powder. Stir everything together.
• Now add the sauerkraut to the pot and give everything a stir. Then pour in enough vegetable broth so that it covers the contents in the pot. In our case, this is 4 cups of broth but it might be slightly more or less for you.
• Bring the contents of the pot to a boil, then place the lid on the pot and turn down the heat. Let the soup simmer for around 25-30 minutes or until the potato pieces are soft.
• Add salt and pepper to taste and remove the pot from the heat. Stir in the sour cream.
• Serve the soup hot with some fresh crusty bread.

• Add the onion, diced celery and potatoes to the pot and cook, scraping up any browned bits with a wooden spoon, until the onion and celery are softened, about 5 minutes. Add the caraway seeds and sauerkraut and cook, scraping up any remaining browned bits, 1 to 2 more minutes. Add 6 cups water, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. Cover and bring to a boil. Uncover, reduce the heat to a rapid simmer and cook until the potatoes are tender, 15 to 20 minutes.
• Stir together the heavy cream and mustard in a small bowl. Once the potatoes are tender, reduce the heat to medium low and whisk the heavy cream mixture into the soup. Return the kielbasa to the pot. Increase the heat to medium and simmer until thickened slightly, 3 to 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
