This was okay. It was an interesting change of pace. I did add dumplings like suggested in a previous post and thought they were quite good w/ it. The problems I found is-1)It makes a LARGE pot of soup. The original recipe says it will serve 8, but really it's more like 16. If I were to make it again, I'd cut the recipe in half. 2)Unless your kids REALLY like sauerkraut, they won't like this. The flavor is quite strong.

Really very good! I was looking for ideas using ground venison instead of beef and this sounded perfect. I also used turnip kraut instead of the regular (sounds strange but delicious) and the soup turned out wonderful! It's always nice to find recipes that don't call for Cream of Soup! The meatballs could have used a little spice though...may add some black pepper to them next time.

Thought it might be fun to try something unusual so fixed this recipe. Followed the recipe to the letter and hated it...tried to add a few thing to make it 'better'..no luck. Maybe you'll like it..We sure didn't!

A very interesting soup. I made this and put several containers in the freezer. We liked it better each time we had it(kind of grew on us) but I don't think I would make it again.

Excellent! Simple to make, and endlessly customizable. I recommend serving it with some crusty rye bread for dipping, and shake some hot paprika over the top.

I really am not a big fan of kraut but I still liked this soup. My husband ate 4 bowls. I didn't have any boullion so I used canned chicken broth. I am adding this to New Years Day dinner along with the other traditional kraut dishes. Thanks for the recipe!
