Sauerkraut Chowder image

Perfect comfort food on a snowy or cold night. this is the most amazing soup I have ever had and it gets even better reheated the next day! Not only that but anyone I have made it for has become addicted even if they do not like sauerkraut. It is my mother's recipe and I was easily able to make it vegetarian. It can also be made low fat. I have listed both options for meat eaters and vegetarians. It can be made vegan if vegan ingredients are substituted for the dairy ones but I have not tried that yet. It is best with buttery crackers but it is plenty a meal by itself. Note: I am not sure of can and package sizes so they are estimates, but I think that I am pretty close, this is a hard recipe to ruin.

Time 45m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

3 -4 large russet potatoes
1 medium onion, chopped
1 (15 ounce) can sauerkraut
1 (10 ounce) can evaporated milk
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
1 (1 lb) package kielbasa, diced (optional)
water
salt and pepper, to taste

Steps:

  • Cut potatoes into bite size pieces (you can peel them if you would like, I leave the skin for extra nutrients) place in a dutch-oven or soup pot, cover with water, add onions and boil until cooked through and fork tender.
  • When potatoes are done add sauerkraut, evaporated milk and cream cheese; stir until cream cheese is completely blended.
  • At this time if you wish to add the kielbasa do so.
  • Add salt and pepper to taste (don't let the sauerkraut fool you, the potatoes take away most of the tartness so you will need more salt than you think so make sure to taste).
  • Cover and cook at a low simmer for 30 minutes.

I love the addition of apples to this chowder. It gives it a nice sweetness that balances out the tanginess of the sauerkraut.

This chowder is a great way to use up leftover ham. I always have ham leftover from Easter and Christmas, and this is a great way to use it up.

This chowder was a bit too thick for my taste. I think I'll add some more broth next time.

I found this chowder to be a bit bland. I think I'll add some more spices next time.

This chowder is a bit too tangy for my taste. I think I'll add some more potatoes next time to balance out the flavor.

I added some cooked bacon to my chowder, and it was delicious! The smokiness of the bacon really complemented the other flavors.

This chowder was easy to make and turned out great. I used a store-bought sauerkraut, and it worked just fine.

I've never been a big fan of sauerkraut, but this chowder changed my mind. The tanginess of the sauerkraut was mellowed out by the other ingredients, and the result was a creamy, flavorful soup.

This sauerkraut chowder was a hit with my family! The flavors were perfectly balanced and the chowder was hearty and filling. I'll definitely be making this again.
