sauerkraut soup

Sauerkraut soup is a hearty soup built around fermented cabbage, common in Central and Eastern European cuisines.

Recipes vary but typically include sauerkraut simmered with broth, potatoes, and smoked meat—often sausage or pork.

The dish has a distinctive tangy, savory flavor from the fermented cabbage: Nothing warms you up in winter like a bowl of sauerkraut soup.
