Some people get nervous when they hear Sauerkraut Soup with its bitter taste because sauerkraut is not for everyone, but it’s definitely for me. I love all-in-one dinners and this soup is just that serving up a bowl filled with bacon, celery, onion, carrots, potatoes, millet, sauerkraut and white beans. It’s heavenly and I’m not just saying that because I wrote this recipe!
To make Sauerkraut Soup, you will need the following ingredients:
In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat 1 tablespoons of olive oil and add 8 oz of chopped bacon. Saute until crispy and browned then remove with a slotted spoon and set aside.
Add 1 finely diced celery stick and 1 finely diced onion. Saute for about 5 minutes until softened and fragrant.
Add 2 medium, thinly sliced carrots, 3 medium potatoes cut into chunks, ¼ cup millet, 8 cups of chicken broth and 2 cups of water. Bring everything to a boil then reduce the heat to low and simmer for about 15 minutes.
Add 2-3 cups of prepared sauerkraut, half of the cooked bacon, 1 can of white beans. With juices included and 1 bay leaf. Cook on a low boil for about 10 minutes until the potatoes are softened and cooked.
Season the soup with ½ teaspoon of salt, ¼ teaspoon of pepper and ½ teaspoon of salt-free seasoning, or more or less to taste.
Serve topped with remaining bacon and fresh and crispy bread, if you wish! Enjoy!
