SAUERKRAUT SOUP

SERVES 4

PREP TIME: 2 minutes

COOK TIME: 25 minutes

We all have the best intentions to eat as much sauerkraut as we can, but sometimes it just doesn’t happen. Adding it to soups and stews is a great way to get your kraut in without having to overdo it on salads and sandwiches.

1 pound (455 g) ground beef

1 small white onion, thinly sliced

1 clove garlic, minced

1¼ teaspoons ground cumin

3 cups (710 ml) beef bone broth

1 cup (235 g) sauerkraut

½ teaspoon finely ground sea salt

1. Place the ground beef, onion, garlic, and cumin in a saucepan. Sauté over medium heat until the onion is translucent, about 10 minutes.
2. Add the broth, sauerkraut, and salt. Cover and cook, still over medium heat, for 15 minutes, until the onion is soft and the soup is fragrant.
3. Divide the soup evenly among 4 bowls and serve.
