Ground Beef & Sauerkraut Soup image

I had leftover sauerkraut and one pound of ground beef in my refrigerator so I did a search and found this one. It's originally a South Beach recipe.

Time 1h10m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 lb extra lean ground beef (less than 10% fat)
2 -3 teaspoons olive oil (depends on your pan)
1 cup onion, chopped
1 tablespoon garlic, minced
2 cups chicken stock (or 1 14 oz. can chicken broth)
28 ounces beef broth (2 14-oz cans)
14 ounces diced tomatoes with juice, canned
14 ounces sauerkraut, undrained
1 cup water (optional)
1 tablespoon brown sugar (use Splenda for South Beach Diet)
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
3 -4 dried bay leaves
3 tablespoons parsley, minced (1-2 T dried parsley)
1 teaspoon rubbed sage
fresh ground black pepper

Steps:

  • In heavy frying pan, heat 1 teaspoons olive oil, add ground beef and brown well, breaking into small pieces with turner. This will take as much as ten minutes but don't rush the browning step.
  • While ground beef browns, combine chicken stock, beef stock, canned tomatoes, sauerkraut, Splenda or brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, bay leaves, parsley and sage in large stock pot. Bring to a low simmer.
  • When beef is well browned, add to soup in pot. Deglaze pan with a bit of the soup liquid, scraping off any browned bits, and add to soup.
  • Wipe out frying pan and add other 2 teaspoons olive oil. Saute onions 2-3 minutes, until starting to soften, then add garlic and saute 1-2 minutes more. Add to soup, reduce heat under soup pot and let soup simmer at low heat about one hour. After an hour, taste for seasoning and add water if soup seems too strong. Simmer 15 minutes more if adding water. Season to taste with fresh-ground black pepper before serving. Serve hot, with sour cream if desired.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my soup turned out really bland. I think I might have added too much water.

I wasn't a fan of this soup. The broth was too salty and the beef was overcooked.

This soup was just okay. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't anything special either. I probably won't make it again.

This soup was a disappointment. The broth was bland and the beef was tough. I also didn't like the taste of the sauerkraut. I won't be making this soup again.

This soup is amazing! The flavors are so well-balanced and the beef is so tender. I love the addition of sauerkraut, it gives the soup a nice tangy flavor. I will definitely be making this soup again and again.

This soup is delicious and easy to make. I used ground turkey instead of beef, and it turned out great. I also added a few extra vegetables, like carrots and celery. My whole family loved it!

I love this soup! It's so hearty and comforting. The beef and sauerkraut are a perfect combination, and the spices give it a wonderful flavor. I always make a big pot of this soup so I can have leftovers for lunch the next day.

This soup was a hit with my family! It was easy to make and so flavorful. The sauerkraut added a nice tanginess that balanced out the richness of the beef. I will definitely be making this again.
