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:

Dodged the white beans and used brown instead much better taste.

Okay mine turned out tasting like over salted pickles-- what's the deal?

Nicely done European styled soup going to be making a lot more things like this since the flavors are unique.
