To ensure a balanced flavor, rinse the sauerkraut before adding it to this soup. This tones down the intense sharpness of the sauerkraut and allows the smokey kielbasa and other aromatics to shine through.

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     main-dish

Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

3 tablespoons unsalted butter
14 ounces kielbasa, diced
1 onion, diced
2 stalks celery, diced, plus 1/4 cup celery leaves, roughly chopped
1 1/4 pounds russet potatoes, peeled and diced
1 1/2 teaspoons caraway seeds
1 14.5-ounce can sauerkraut, drained and rinsed
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
1/2 cup heavy cream
2 tablespoons spicy brown mustard
1/4 cup fresh dill, roughly chopped

Steps:

  • Melt the butter in a large wide pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the kielbasa and cook, stirring occasionally, until golden and crisp, 3 to 5 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon to a plate, leaving the drippings in the pot.
  • Add the onion, diced celery and potatoes to the pot and cook, scraping up any browned bits with a wooden spoon, until the onion and celery are softened, about 5 minutes. Add the caraway seeds and sauerkraut and cook, scraping up any remaining browned bits, 1 to 2 more minutes. Add 6 cups water, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. Cover and bring to a boil. Uncover, reduce the heat to a rapid simmer and cook until the potatoes are tender, 15 to 20 minutes.

Return the kielbasa to the pot. Increase the heat to medium and simmer until thickened slightly, 3 to 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Divide the soup among bowls. Top with the chopped celery leaves and dill.

Tips:

  • Use a variety of beans. This will give your soup a more complex flavor and texture. Some good options include black beans, kidney beans, pinto beans, and navy beans.
  • Soak your beans overnight. This will help them cook more quickly and evenly. If you don't have time to soak them overnight, you can quick-soak them by boiling them for 5 minutes, then letting them sit for 1 hour.
  • Use good-quality sauerkraut. Look for sauerkraut that is made with natural ingredients and has a tangy, slightly sour flavor. Avoid sauerkraut that is made with vinegar or other artificial ingredients.
  • Add some spice to your soup. This will help to balance out the sourness of the sauerkraut. Some good options include chili powder, cumin, and paprika.
  • Serve your soup with a dollop of sour cream or yogurt. This will help to add creaminess and richness to the soup.

Conclusion:

Bean, potato, and sauerkraut soup is a hearty, flavorful, and nutritious soup that is perfect for a cold winter day. It is also a great way to use up leftover beans, potatoes, and sauerkraut. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give this soup a try.
