Sauerkraut Soup I image

Goes great with fish sandwiches, or nice chewy breadsticks. Make sure you serve the soup piping hot. I don't rinse off my sauerkraut because we like our soup tart. If you want, though, you can rinse it.

Time 1h45m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 9

⅓ cup dried mushrooms
1 ½ cups boiling water
1 (32 ounce) jar sauerkraut with juice
1 ½ quarts water
½ cup barley
5 tablespoons butter
1 onion, finely diced
5 tablespoons all-purpose flour
salt and pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Steep mushrooms in 1 1/2 cups of boiling water until they are soft and you can chop them (I use a food processor). Save the water to add to the soup. It gives it a nice rich color.
  • Put sauerkraut, sauerkraut juice, and 1 1/2 quarts water in soup pot (5-quart Dutch oven is fine). Bring to a boil, add chopped mushrooms and mushroom water. Turn down heat and simmer for one hour.
  • Add barley (make sure you rinse it first), cook until barley is done.
  • In the meantime, melt the butter and saute onions until they're soft. Add the flour to the onion mixture to thicken. Add some of the boiling liquid from your soup to the onion mixture and when smooth add to soup.
  • Add salt and pepper to taste. If soup is too thick for your taste, add a little more sauerkraut juice mixed with water. Enjoy.

The soup was missing something. I think it needed some more spices or herbs.

The soup was too thick and gloppy. I had to add more water to thin it out.

The soup was bland and lacked flavor. I had to add a lot of salt and pepper to make it palatable.

This soup was a bit too sour for my taste. I think I would have preferred it with less sauerkraut.

This soup is a great way to use up leftover sauerkraut. It's also a very economical meal.
