I loved the tangy flavor of the sauerkraut and the smokiness of the kielbasa. It was also very easy to make.

This soup was just okay. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't anything special either. I probably won't be making this again.

This soup was a bit too sour for my taste. I think I'll try adding some more sugar next time.

This soup was a disappointment. The cabbage was overcooked and the sausage was tough. I won't be making this recipe again.
