Sauerkraut Soup (Kapustnyak)
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!

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.
My hubby is in love with the taste of this!!
Wonderful soup to make it has a tangy flavor but its good.
How does one even pronounce the name of this? Hahaha It was good as heck though so i guess names dont matter.
Tasted off i dont know if it was the meat or what but wasnt a big fan.
Love this soup with some black bread on the side, very filling and tasty.
Served with a glass of beer and cheesy garlic bread, perfection on my dinning table.
Instead of adding bacon slice some sausauges and toss them in yummmyy!!
I tried out similar Russian recipe with meatballs i think it was called tefteli, but either way i decided to toss them in this soup and they were BOMB an explosion of flavors and goodness.
