SAUSAGE & SAUERKRAUT SOUP
Ingredients:
1 lb sausage (I used mild Italian sausage)
2 tbsp of butter
2 small onions or 1 large onion, diced
2 garlic cloves, minced
3-4 white potatoes (peeled and cut into small bite sized cubes)
3 tbsp tomato paste
2-3 carrots, grated
5-6 cups beef or chicken stock (preferably homemade)
1/2 tsp caraway seeds (optional)
1/3 to 1/2 cup of pearl barley
8-12 oz/225 grams of sauerkraut (liquid drained off)
Salt/pepper to taste
2-3 tsp Italian seasoning

Directions:
In a large pot over medium heat, melt butter.
Adds onions and garlic to the melted butter and cook until onions are translucent.
Dice potatoes into bite size pieces and grate carrots.
Add potatoes and carrots to the pot with tomato paste, barley, caraway seeds, and chicken stock.
Cook for 20-25 minutes.
Meanwhile, in a separate frying pan, cook sausages and set aside to cool.
You may deglaze the sausage pan with a bit of warm stock to add some extra sausage flavor to the soup.
Add the sauerkraut to the soup pot and cook soup for another 15-20 minutes until the barley is tender.
Once the sausage is cool enough to handle, slice it into small rounds and add to the soup.
Taste to adjust for salt, then serve.
