Potato Sauerkraut Soup

Warm up with Soup
 
It sounds like our January thaw is coming to an end with blizzard conditions forecast, along with colder temperatures! This soup recipe comes from my good friends and former co-workers, Jean and Joan McKnight. It hits the spot on a cold winter's day. I like to put the ingredients in a crock pot and cook it all day, but it's good on top of the stove, too. If I am feeling really domestic and ambitious, I like a slice of fresh homemade wheat bread with this!
 
Potato Sauerkraut Soup:
4 cups chicken broth
1 can cream of mushroom soup
16 oz. can of sauerkraut, rinsed and drained
8 oz. fresh mushrooms, sliced
1 medium potato, cubed
2 carrots, chopped
1 medium onion, chopped
2 stalks celery, chopped
3/4 lb polish sausage, cubed
2 Tbsp vinegar
1 Tbsp sugar
2 tsp dill weed
1/8 tsp pepper
 
Mix all ingredients in a 4 qt. kettle, cover and cook until vegetables are tender. Stay safe and warm and have a great week!
