Sauerkraut Soup I image

Goes great with fish sandwiches, or nice chewy breadsticks. Make sure you serve the soup piping hot. I don't rinse off my sauerkraut because we like our soup tart. If you want, though, you can rinse it.

Time 1h45m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 9

⅓ cup dried mushrooms
1 ½ cups boiling water
1 (32 ounce) jar sauerkraut with juice
1 ½ quarts water
½ cup barley
5 tablespoons butter
1 onion, finely diced
5 tablespoons all-purpose flour
salt and pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Steep mushrooms in 1 1/2 cups of boiling water until they are soft and you can chop them (I use a food processor). Save the water to add to the soup. It gives it a nice rich color.
  • Put sauerkraut, sauerkraut juice, and 1 1/2 quarts water in soup pot (5-quart Dutch oven is fine). Bring to a boil, add chopped mushrooms and mushroom water. Turn down heat and simmer for one hour.
  • Add barley (make sure you rinse it first), cook until barley is done.
  • In the meantime, melt the butter and saute onions until they're soft. Add the flour to the onion mixture to thicken. Add some of the boiling liquid from your soup to the onion mixture and when smooth add to soup.
  • Add salt and pepper to taste. If soup is too thick for your taste, add a little more sauerkraut juice mixed with water. Enjoy.

This soup is a classic for a reason. It's hearty, flavorful, and easy to make. I always make a big batch and freeze the leftovers for later.

This soup was terrible! The sauerkraut was way too sour and the whole thing was just a mess.

This soup was a bit bland for my taste. I think I'll try adding some more spices next time.

I love this soup! It's so easy to make and it's always a hit with my family. I usually add a little extra sausage and potatoes to make it even more hearty.

I've never been a big fan of sauerkraut, but this soup changed my mind. The flavors were so well-balanced and the soup was so comforting. I'll definitely be making this again this winter.

This sauerkraut soup was incredibly flavorful and hearty. The combination of sourness from the sauerkraut, smokiness from the bacon, and sweetness from the apples was perfect. I'll definitely be making this again!
