Sauerkraut Chowder image

Perfect comfort food on a snowy or cold night. this is the most amazing soup I have ever had and it gets even better reheated the next day! Not only that but anyone I have made it for has become addicted even if they do not like sauerkraut. It is my mother's recipe and I was easily able to make it vegetarian. It can also be made low fat. I have listed both options for meat eaters and vegetarians. It can be made vegan if vegan ingredients are substituted for the dairy ones but I have not tried that yet. It is best with buttery crackers but it is plenty a meal by itself. Note: I am not sure of can and package sizes so they are estimates, but I think that I am pretty close, this is a hard recipe to ruin.

Time 45m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

3 -4 large russet potatoes
1 medium onion, chopped
1 (15 ounce) can sauerkraut
1 (10 ounce) can evaporated milk
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
1 (1 lb) package kielbasa, diced (optional)
water
salt and pepper, to taste

Steps:

  • Cut potatoes into bite size pieces (you can peel them if you would like, I leave the skin for extra nutrients) place in a dutch-oven or soup pot, cover with water, add onions and boil until cooked through and fork tender.
  • When potatoes are done add sauerkraut, evaporated milk and cream cheese; stir until cream cheese is completely blended.
  • At this time if you wish to add the kielbasa do so.
  • Add salt and pepper to taste (don't let the sauerkraut fool you, the potatoes take away most of the tartness so you will need more salt than you think so make sure to taste).
  • Cover and cook at a low simmer for 30 minutes.

This recipe was a huge disappointment. The chowder was bland and flavorless.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my chowder turned out really watery. I think I might have added too much liquid.

This chowder was a bit too salty for my taste, but I think that's just because I used a different type of sausage than the recipe called for.

I'm not a big fan of sauerkraut, but I loved this chowder. The flavors were well-balanced and the chowder was very hearty.

I love the tangy flavor of the sauerkraut in this chowder. It's a great way to warm up on a cold day.

This chowder is so easy to make and it's always a crowd-pleaser. I've made it for potlucks, parties, and even just for a weeknight dinner. It's always a hit.

This was my first time making sauerkraut chowder and it was delicious! The only thing I would change is to add a little more salt and pepper to taste.

I made this chowder in my slow cooker and it turned out great! I just threw all the ingredients in the pot in the morning and dinner was ready when I got home from work.

This recipe was a bit too sour for my taste, but I think that's just because I'm not a big fan of sauerkraut. My husband loved it though, so I'll probably make it again for him.

I love how this chowder is both hearty and healthy. The sauerkraut adds a nice tanginess and the sausage gives it a smoky flavor. I served it with a side of crusty bread and it was the perfect meal for a cold night.

This sauerkraut chowder was a hit with my family! The flavors were perfectly balanced and the recipe was easy to follow. I will definitely be making this again.
