Sausage, Potato and Sauerkraut Soup
By Sue Lau | Palatable Pastime
Sausage, Potato and Sauerkraut Soup is my recipe of the day with the Saturday Soup Swappers blogging group. We get together once per month to share soup recipes on a variety of topics.
We are sharing our favorite root vegetable soups this month. I looked around the kitchen and put together a pile of potatoes, sausage and sauerkraut to put in my soup pot.
I am generally quite fond of any number of soups that include things such as cabbage or sauerkraut. Especially if there is some paprika in there somewhere. As well, I love potatoes in a soup as they seem perfectly suited for that purpose.

I have everything I need to try this except for the sausage. I will remedy that during my run to the store this morning. Thanks for joining me this month, Sue. I will give this a try shortly.
I am definitely going to have to try this – I love all of those components; it sounds so hearty!
