Soup Week: Sauerkraut and Kielbasa Soup

It's easy to get carried away when you're making homemade sauerkraut. The cabbage is very inexpensive and before you know it, you've shredded and salted 20 pounds of cabbage. Then February comes and you realized you missed your opportunity to give sauerkraut to all your nearest and dearest for Christmas presents, so it is time to cook with kraut. This soup is very easy-- just cook a little bacon, then saute some onion in the bacon fat. Add the kraut, any random pork you have around (I had some roast bits), and some nice, smoky kielbasa. Living in Chicago, I can get many different kinds, and my favorite is "Wedding Sausage", which is very smoky, garlicy, and peppery. I don't know how that fits in with the "Wedding", but I hope the bride and groom both eat it! Simmer the kraut with chicken broth until all is nice and tender. Serve with some hearty homemade sourdough hearth bread!
