Bean, Potato and Sauerkraut Soup image

Raining 6 days straight here in the northeast and suddenly I'm thinking about warm comforting soups as a way to warm from the inside out. After pulling out one of my soup cookbooks and came across this one and decided to post it for the Zaar World Tour. You can make this vegetarian by omitting the prosciutto. I have not tried this one so please feel free to share your comments and sugeestions.

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

4 ounces dried cranberry beans
4 potatoes, cubed into 1 inch pieces
1 stalk celery, diced
1 large onion, chopped
2 garlic cloves
2 bay leaves
3 ounces prosciutto, fat trimmed and reserved
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
8 ounces sauerkraut, drained
salt (to taste)
pepper (to taste)
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 pinch cumin

Steps:

  • Soak beans overnight in 4 cups of water. Rinse and drain.

  • In a small skillet, render the reserved fat from the prosciutto. Add flour and stir until browned. Remove fat pieces.
