Cooking Sauerkraut soup and the big mistake.

Daily Miscellany


Thoughts and flashes of brilliance that enter my head from nowhere.

Enjoy.  Or abhor, depending on the effect of my "wisdom".

Like most Americans I have been minding the news on the corona virus and yes, I think it's greatly over-hyped.

The news media controls and they need something to talk about so they tell us about 50 people dying when 13,000 died in 2009 of the Swine Flu.  They tell us we should close our bars and restaurants, wash our hands 22 hours a day, do not touch any parts of our body and stop breathing if necessary.

This will last about one week more and Americans are going to tire of restless kids home from school as they try to work from home.

For now, the media's job is to create hysteria.

It won't last.  Else the media has to take our restless kids.

Sauerkraut Soup







































Well it don't look all that good as I took the pic as it was in the slow-cooker.  I have yet to eat a full serving and, indeed, took a chance and froze a large portion to see how well it freezes and if it tastes good once thawed.

But I did have a small cup full to see how it tastes.

I thought it was a bit tart but then again it is sauerkraut.

Recipe

1 pound smoke kelbasa, cut into 1-inch pieces
1 can sauerkraut-32 ounces, rinsed and well drained.
4 cups chicken broth
1 can-10-3/4 condenses cream of mushroom, undiluted
1/2 sliced fresh mushrooms
2 medium carrots, sliced
2 celery ribs, sliced
2 tablespoons white vinegar
2 teaspoons dill weed
pepper
cooked bacon, couple slices, crumbled

In a five quart slow cooker, combine first 12 ingredients.  Cover and cook on high for 5-6 hours, or until vegetables are tender

---------------------
I realize, now that I've typed the recipe....I DID NOT DRAIN THE SAUERKRAUT OUT OF THE CAN!!!

I didn't rinse it well either.

Still it didn't taste bad and perhaps if I add a small dose of sugar it won't be so tart.

Try it without my mistake and see how it goes.
