Beef and Sauerkraut Soup image

A really hearty soup. I usually make Reuben sandwiches the day before and use the leftover sauerkraut for this soup. From Elegant Meals with Inexpensive Meats.

Time 3h15m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

4 beef shanks, fat removed
1 tablespoon butter
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
2 medium onions, finely chopped
1 carrot, shredded
1 large garlic clove, minced
1 lb sauerkraut
1 quart water
1 lb tomatoes, reserve liquid
1/8 teaspoon pepper
1 bay leaf

sour cream

Steps:

  • Brown beef shanks on all sides in mixture of heated butter and oil in a 6-quart Dutch oven. Mix in onions and carrot, stirring until limp. Add garlic, sauerkraut, water, tomatoes and their liquid, pepper and bay leaf. Bring to boiling, reduce heat, cover and simmer for about 3 hours or until meat is very tender.

  • Top with sour cream, if desired.

I've made this soup a few times and it's always a hit. It's a great soup for a cold winter day. I usually add a little bit of extra beef broth to the recipe. I also like to serve it with a side of sour cream.

This soup is a great way to warm up on a cold winter day. It's also a great way to use up leftover beef. I usually add a little bit of extra vegetables to the recipe, such as carrots, celery, and potatoes.
