Cabbage/Sauerkraut Soup / Kapuśniak

Serves 4. Makes typically 2 day-meal as a starter.

2 l of water

4-5 big potatoes (typically same amount do you for a meal), chopped into small chunks

1 jar of Sauerkraut, drained and chopped (even though it comes already chopped, it's better to chop it more finely again but can also cook it as it is from the jar)

1 carrot shredded

1 onion chopped and fried

Streaky back, if using, chopped and fried with onion

1 tea spoon of paprika seasoning or small pot/2 spoons of tomatoe puree for colour/taste

1 parsnip shredded (optional)

Boil potatoes in the water in big pot for 20 min, with 1/2 big spoon of vegetable seasoning

and a choice of meat - e.g. 1 pork chop, a couple of chicken wings.

 Once potatoes are soft, add shredded cabbage, carrot, parsnip if using, onion and backon, and 1 tea spoon of paprika or tomatoe puree for seasoning.

Boil for 60 min under cover on low heat.

 Any leftovers last up to 3 days.

Top Tip: For all your shredding and chopping, use a food processor. E.g. cabbage is chopped just like onion.
