This is post 2 for today, head back a post for Destiny’s post: “The Heart of Worship”.
I adapted this recipe from my good friend, Mrs. Baker’s blog. The second I saw it, I knew I HAD to make it. I am intrigued by sauerkraut and I have to tell you something….this is BY FAR, the number 1 best soup I have EVER MADE.
PROMISE me you will try this! I am not even kidding you, we GOBBLED it up! {As in 2 bowls each, including the kids!}
The Kraut cooks away to a sweet, mild flavor, which melds in your mouth with the smoky sausage, hearty beans and hint of dill.
Oh. My. Stinkin. Word.
I want to go make this again right now!!!!!!!!!!!!
Crock Pot Kraut & Bean Soup
- 4 cups Diced Unpeeled Potatoes
- 2 cans (14 Oz Each) Sauerkraut, Un-drained
- 1 cup Water (I added more because mine was too thick)
- 2 packages Kielbasa Sausage, Halved And Sliced
- 2 cans (15 Oz Each) Northern Beans, Pour Off Top Liquid Only
- 2 cans (15 Oz Each) Pork And Beans, Un-drained
- 4 Tablespoons Brown Sugar
- 2 Tablespoons Dill Weed (I Did A Bit More, Yum!)
Boil potatoe cubes until slightly soft. Then, in an 8 Qt. crock pot layer potatoes, sauerkraut, water, kielbasa, then beans. Sprinkle brown sugar and dill weed over all.
Cover, cook on high for 3-4 hours, or until potatoes are soft and forl tender. Make sure you stir a few times during cooking, adding another 1/2 c water as needed, if it appears too thick.
Oh my word, this is seriously my new FAVORITE soup! It was so sweet & savory, big enough to feed a crowd and is OH SO GOOD!
{This makes a HUUUUUGE batch, so it can be easily halved and put into a 4 Qt crock pot as well.}
Repeat after me, ok?
Fill in the blank with your name…….
I, ________________, do hereby PROMISE to give this soup a try, even though I think sauerkraut is stinky and gross because I love Tonya and I trust her Foodie Opinion.
See, that wasn’t so hard! Now go…….make this soup, then report back to me how much you loved it!
