I have never been a sauerkraut fan, but my friend gave me this recipe to try. It was good, but 'missing something' for my taste. I altered the recipe and added the carrots, celery, chicken bouillon, and dill. Nice and creamy with a great flavor from the kielbasa; caraway and dill add a nice flavor.

Ingredients
- 1 large carrot, peeled and diced shopping list
- 2 ribs celery, diced shopping list
- 1 small onion, chopped shopping list
- 1/2 tsp. caraway seed shopping list
- 3 c. water (or equivalent broth - if using broth, omit chicken bouillon) shopping list
- 1-2 medium-sized potatoes, cubed shopping list
- 1/2 tsp. dried dill weed shopping list
- 1/2 tsp. chicken bouillon shopping list

- 1/2 pkg. refrigerated sauerkraut, drained (and rinsed if you prefer less 'tang') shopping list

How to make it
- In a small amount of butter, saute carrot, celery, onion, caraway seed, and a dash of salt until vegetables are softened.
- Add water (or broth), potatoes, dill weed, and chicken bouillon (unless using broth). Boil until potatoes are just about tender; 5 - 7 min.
- Add kielbasa and sauerkraut. Bring to a boil; reduce heat to medium low, and simmer about 5 min. or until potatoes are tender.
- Remove about 1 c. of cooking liquid from soup and stir together with sour cream in a small bowl; add back to soup. If you prefer a creamier consistency, add additional sour cream 1 TBSP. at a time until it reaches the desired creaminess. Heat through.
- Test for seasoning and add salt and pepper to taste. Serve.

I made the soup too! Loved the robust flavors and the light creaminess that the sour cream added. I used a smoked turkey sausage and subbed 3 cups of vegetable broth for the water and bouillon. I will definitely be making this again. My pic has joine...more

Okay...I made a double batch of this in a low fat version! I used turkey kielbasa and low fat sour cream, and it was still very good!!!
