Bar Tartine's Sauerkraut Soup (vegetarian)

Ethan Patterson

Report

This Slovakian sauerkraut soup is a traditional part of the Christmas meal at Bar Tartine's Nicolaus Balla's household, and it will now become a favourite in ours. This sauerkraut soup is tangy and rich in flavour, full of plump mushrooms and juicy strands of cabbage. Serve it on top of a mound of mashed potatoes for full effect.

Instructions

Keep Screen Awake

If you have chosen to serve the soup atop mashed potatoes, then cook and puree your potatoes using your favourite method. Otherwise, keep going with the recipe.
In a large saucepan over medium high heat, combine broth, sauerkraut and brine, mushrooms, serranos, bell peppers, onions, fruit and potato and bring to a simmer. Cover and turn heat to med-low. Maintain a gentle simmer and cook gentle until potatoes are tender but firm, about 30 minutes.
Add the tomatoes, garlic, paprika, chipotles (if using), caraway seeds, bay leaves and salt and continue to simmer, uncovered, until the potatoes are just about to fall apart, about 20 minutes longer. Remove and discard the bay leaves.
Ladle soup into individual bowls and garnish each bowl with pepper (and sour cream, if using).
Leftover soup will keep in the fridge for up to 1 week.
