I had to make too many changes to rate this higher than a 3, but this is a good base recipe to modify according to what you like. The first time I made exactly like recipe, and it was way too watery, not enough meat, and I wasn't crazy about the dill taste. The 2nd time, I eliminated the water altogether, doubled the meat (used hot turkey sausage links to decrease the fat content) used parsley instead of dill, and fresh carrots and potatoes. After all that, it was an excellent soup. I used a 32 oz jar of kraut also, and kept some of the juice in there. Delish.

I have made this soup numerous times and it's one of my family's favorite meals. They ask for it weekly! It's especially good during the cold winter months as it is very rich and filling. I made it the first time as written, and have since made the following changes. I only gave it four stars because I think it's much better with fresh vegetables instead of canned. I used three yukon gold potatoes (peeled and cubed) five or six carrots (peeled and coined) about 1 1/2 TBS dried dill weed, a 32 oz. jar of sauerkraut with the juice, and a little extra chicken broth. Also, I leave out the garlic. With these changes it's a fantastic meal if you're a sauerkraut lover! It really reminds me of the sauerkraut soup at the Polish restaurant in my hometown.

With all the great reviews I was expecting more from this soup. It was fine but I don't think it was outstanding. I think it had too much water, I would recommend reducing it by a cup and a half or 2 cups. An extra can of potatoes would have been good. After tasting this we added about 1/4 cup cooked brown rice to the bottom of our bowls of soup. This addition helped with the watery aspect. It is fairly inexpensive and does make a lot so it would be ideal for a St. Patty’s party or Oktoberfest.

This was a good soup. I saw some other reviews and comments about the tartness. I put a few spoonfuls of sugar, and rinse the sauerkraut. I didn't have potato's on hand so I used the dried potato's out of a box of Betty Crocker box without the packet of sauce. That worked out well, and I used an extra can of cream of mushroom to make it creamier. I also cooked the onions and garlic in olive oil before adding them to the crock pot. I hate cooked carrots so I left them out.

I think this recipe is great! If you love sauerkraut you will love this soup. It would even be good without sausage. I did not make this in the crock pot. I just cooked it on the stove. The sausage was pre-cooked so I didn't brown the sausage before I added it. This really is great soup!

This was delicious-it made a nice lunch after being outside shoveling snow! I changed this a bit with low fat soups, low salt chicken broth, added fresh carrots, celery and mushrooms and then added 1/2 C. of fat free cream cheese to add to the creamy texture. YUMMO!

This was awesome! I love sauerkraut and so did as another cook suggested and just put a whole bottle of wine sauerkraut in, juice and all. I also used fresh celery (I don't like carrots) and fresh potatoes (I have never bought canned potatoes??!). I used farmer sausage and just used chicken broth instead of water. Serve with a baguette and it's a wonderful meal!! Thanks for the recipe! :) It smells wonderful when cooking!

Very good! I am happily surprized by this soup. I didn't crock-pot this but made it in a dutch oven. Browned sausage first, drained it, wiped out most of grease from the oven. Added the onions, carrots, and mushrooms. Let them cook til onions were clear. Added 3 diced yukon gold potatoes, kraut, broth. Didn't have cream of soups, but didn't miss them at all. Added a bit of oregano instead of dill, as that's what was on hand and extra garlic. Makes a lot, so we'll be freezing at least half. Thanks for the great recipe. Will be making again!!

This soup is just so good! I love making homemade soups and using the crock pot! I took the advise of other cooks and added chicken and sour cream. I also used fresh potatoes and carrots.I really enjoy making unique dishes and this one is a keeper! So nice to come home to this great soup that is perfect for a cold winter in PA! I served this with dilled Havarti cheese and warm bread.

Nice for a change, but not something I would make on a regular basis. I liked the veggie combo, but wasn't sure about the smoked sausage - more of a texture thing rather than flavor. I think I may experiment with sauerkraut, mushrooms and sour cream.

This “Sauerkraut Soup II” is fantastic! It’s a simple recipe that demands attention because it is so unusual! Everyone at my office was asking for some when they smelt it warming up in the break room. I made a few changes….I left out the cream of chicken soup, and added instead a pound of chicken breasts. It shredded nicely in the soup and made it more of a hearty meal. I also used fresh potato’s and carrots, which worked out great as well.

My Mom has been making this for years and our family loves it. We like kraut, and made like this it has a nice mellow flavor. Mom also uses a summer sausage for meat cut into bite size pieces. The only thing hers has that this doesn't is mushrooms. She probably uses fresh veggies too. Highly recommend for your kraut lovers--a very hearty soup.

Very good. Especially a nice Oktoberfest addition. Next time I will probably use small red potatoes (not canned) and perhaps add a bit more Sauerkraut (cause I love sauerkraut). All in all, a good recipe.

I've had this recipe in my files for years. I have never used potatoes in this soup but I might try it. Comes together great in a crock pot just dump everything in and cook on low about 6-8 hours. Thanks Terrilyn

Loved the great taste in the original soup and then made it into more of a casserole by eliminating the water and cutting the broth down to 1 can. I doubled the recipe & added a little more meat.. A wonderful treat!

Use 3-4 sliced carrots and a few chopped potatoes and par boli these first. Also, saute the onion and garlic a little first.
