Sauerkraut Soup

 Who doesn't love their momma's cooking? Seems like everything always tastes better when mom makes it! Mine recently came across a soup recipe and made it for dinner, it got the stamp of approval from me and the kids.

Passing the recipe on here, give it a try and see what you think!

Ingredients-

1 lb. hamburger meat

1 onion

1 small can tomato sauce

1 can hot dog chili sauce

Carton mushrooms

1 can diced tomatoes

1 can sauerkraut

Beef or chicken stock

Heavy cream to your liking

Now, cook the hamburger meat, onion and mushrooms until the meat is done. Now, add the beef or chicken stock ( I added two cups- but it's up to you as to how thick or thin you want it), add sauerkraut ( do not drain), tomato sauce diced tomatoes, hot dog sauce and salt/pepper to taste. Let simmer 15 minutes. Take off heat. Before serving, add a bit of heavy cream ( to your liking) to each bowl. You can't add the cream to the entire pan of soup. If you do this, you will not be able to re-warm.

I prefer mine without the cream, so I totally eliminate even purchasing this. This soup is very economical and makes a lot!

16 oz Italian Sausage

14 oz pizza sauce

Medium onion

8 oz can mushrooms

Directions-

First, cook sausage and drain. Chop zucchini and onion. Add all ingredients together in a large pot and let simmer for about 30 minutes. Enjoy!
