Chicken Paprika Soup
by Sue Lau | Palatable Pastime
New year beginnings always seem to arrive with some bit of retrospection. And looking behind me at all the holiday sweets, cookies, desserts, appetizers, heavy meals, I mean, just looking behind me? I’d rather not do that in a mirror.
So it comes time to lighten up and replace all the heavy eating with fresh lighter choices.
One such choice for me is a chicken paprika soup, which holds some similarity to chicken paprikash, only in a soup form, and being lighter, it does not contain any of the egg noodles I might otherwise out in. We can fill out those slender pasta threads with sauerkraut instead, which because it is fermented, is always good for us.
Chock full of vegetables and a little bit of creaminess from the sour cream, this is very old-world and suitable for the coldest days of winter. I hope you enjoy.

Great idea for these chilly days.
Made a huge pot of this soup, and loved it. Very satisfying, yet low calorie (about 210) and low carb (about 7 g)
