This is a recipe that I found in a vegetarian cookbook years ago. I have modified it to my liking and have made it ever since. It's a hearty soup with a great flavor. Add seasonal veggies for more variety. Enjoy!

Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil

  • 1 large onion, halved and thinly sliced

  • 4 red potatoes, cubed

  • ½ pound green beans, cut into 1 inch pieces

  • 5 cups vegetable, chicken, or beef broth

  • 2 tablespoons whole wheat flour

  • ½ cup sour cream

  • ¾ cup sauerkraut with juice

  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh dill

  • Salt and pepper to taste

Directions

  1. Heat vegetable oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Stir in the onion, and gently cook until softened and translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the potatoes and green beans; cook until the green beans have slightly softened, about 5 more minutes.

  2. Pour in the vegetable stock. Bring to a boil over high heat, then lower heat to medium-low, cover, and cook until the potatoes have softened, about 15 minutes. Stir the flour into the sour cream, and add it a spoonful at a time to the simmering soup. Stir in the sauerkraut and dill, season to taste with salt and pepper. Simmer for 5 minutes more before serving.
