@polish.girl.cooks: If you love sauerkraut, this one-pot Polish sauerkraut soup, Kapuśniak, is tangy, savory, and full of flavor. One-Pot Polish Sauerkraut Soup (Kapuśniak) Ingredients 1 ring smoked kielbasa (14 oz), sliced and/ or diced 1 bag sauerkraut, drained (save the juice to adjust tanginess later) 1 large onion, diced 1 large carrot, grated or finely chopped 5 to 6 potatoes, peeled and diced 1 tablespoon chicken-flavored bouillon 3 bay leaves 5 allspice berries 3 tablespoon Italian seasoning Salt and black pepper, to taste Water (enough to cover ingredients by about 1 inch) Optional Roux (Traditional Thickening) 2 tablespoons oil 2 tablespoons allpurpose flour How to make Prep the sauerkraut. Drain the sauerkraut and save the juice. Every brand is different, so you can add some back later if you want more tang. In a large pot, sauté onions and kielbasa over medium heat until lightly browned. Stir in the chicken bouillon and grated carrot. Cook for 2–3 minutes. Add the sauerkraut, bay leaves, allspice, Italian seasoning, and black pepper. Pour in enough water to cover everything by about an inch. Bring to a gentle boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 15 minutes. Add the diced potatoes and simmer for about 30 minutes, until tender. (The potatoes stay slightly firm on the outside and soft inside - that’s the good part.) Optional roux (zasmażka) Heat oil in a small pan, whisk in flour, and cook briefly. Slowly add a ladle of hot soup, whisking until smooth. Pour back into the pot and stir to thicken slightly. Taste and adjust with salt and reserved sauerkraut juice if needed. Simmer a few more minutes, then turn off the heat and enjoy. Smacznego! #kapusniak #sauerkrautsoup #polishfood #polishcooking #comfortfood
