A creamy, slightly tangy soup full of veggies, potatoes, bratwurst and sauerkraut.
A couple of years ago I had a Soup Supper Round-Up
on my blog.
A blog I follow from time to time called Simply Gourmet
shared this soup, and I have to say I was intrigued!
It is a weird sounding combination, I will admit, but I knew it was one I would try someday!
My cousin, Shawn, makes his own sauerkraut, and it is amazing!!
He saw the share of this soup, and he made it right away!
And he’s made it time and time again!
Every time I run into him, he asks me if I have tried it, I keep telling him, I am going to, I SWEAR!
I decided that it was TIME I did!
Every Halloween we have a soup supper at our house before we go out Trick-or-Treating.
I make three soups, two that are family favorites, and I make one new one.
This year, I made my Homemade Chicken Noodle and Beef Enchilada, and this one!
My father in law teases me about my Polish/German heritage (all in good fun) and thought this soup didn’t sound like anything he would like.
He had two bowls.
It was the first crock pot empty on Halloween.
It’s the perfect blend of creamy with just a bit of tang… fabulous!
My Father in Law said I needed to re-name the soup, I wasn’t sure what that would be, so I left well enough alone.
