Ingredients
- 5.3 oz smoked bacon diced, 150g
- 2 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 cup celery diced (80g)
- ¾ cup leek finely diced (50g)
- ¾ cup carrots diced small (120g)
- 1 cup turnips diced small (160g)
- 2 garlic cloves minced
- 1 teaspoon Italian Herbs (or a mix of oregano, thyme, marjoram, rosemary)
- 1 teaspoon caraway seeds
- 2 tablespoon tomato paste
- ½ teaspoon flaked sea salt or to taste
- ½ teaspoon black pepper or to taste
- 5 cups chicken stock or veggie stock (1.2 litre)
- 1.5 cups Sauerkraut rinsed & drained (200g), I used Hurly Burly Original and linked to a brand on Amazon which is similarly clean
- 2 bay leaves
To Serve
- ⅛ teaspoon nutmeg
- chopped parsley
Instructions
- Rinse the sauerkraut in a colander with plenty of cold water. Set aside.
- Add diced bacon to a large soup pot or dutch oven with a drizzle of oil if required (depends how fatty your bacon is). Cook over medium heat until crisp. Set aside.
- Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in the dutch oven. Add celery, carrots, leek and turnip. Sauté until softened and golden, about 4 minutes.
- Add garlic and fry for a further 30 seconds.
- Add the Italian herbs, caraway, tomato puree, salt and pepper and cooked bacon into the pot. Cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
- Pour in the stock and add the bay leaves. Bring the soup to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and simmer for 15 minutes.
- Add the sauerkraut and cook for another 5 minutes. Adjust the seasoning to taste and serve.
Notes
- 7g net carbs per portion. Makes 4 servings of 1.5 cups each.
- Rinsing the sauerkraut well is very important! It prevents bloating.
- Serving suggestion: Top the soup with a pinch of nutmeg, a drizzle of olive oil and fresh parsley. A dollop of sour cream also works well.
