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.

Time 2h30m

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.
  • Place the beans, potatoes, celery, onion, 1 clove of garlic and 1 bay leaf into a large soup pot. Add water to cover over plus 2 inches. Bring water to boil, then reduce to a low simmer. Cover and cook for 90 minutes.
  • In a small skillet, render the reserved fat from the prosciutto. Add flour and stir until browned. Remove fat pieces.
  • Drain the sauerkraut, patting if needed. Place in a sauce pan with second clove of garlic and bay leaf, as well as remaining prosciutto. Begin heating and add the browned flour (roux). Cook for an hour over very low flame.
  • Remove 3 cups of soup from pot and blend in a food processor. Return to the soup pot. Add in the sauerkraut. Cook for 30 minutes. Add salt and pepper to taste. Stir in the oil and cumin.
  • Serve warm not boiling hot.

I'm not a big fan of sauerkraut, but this soup was surprisingly good. The flavors are well-balanced and the soup is very filling.
