We had soup for breakfast today: tomato-basil with sweet Italian sausage and cheese tortellini. I’m a huge fan of Eric Greenspan’s tomato-basil soup from Crapanzano’s Eat Cook L.A.. I will be planting a lot of extra basil next year so I can stock my freezer with the soup. I froze 5 quarts this year, and it’s almost all gone already. No worries, however, as it is just as good made from canned roasted garden tomatoes, of which I still have plenty.

My first sauerkraut soup.
I took inspiration from a half dozen recipes.
Chopped sweet onions, garlic, celery, carrots, sauteed in veg oil.
I added a few cups of water, pearl barley, rinsed sauerkraut, allspice, Serbian paprika, marjoram,
simmering for 30 minutes to cook the barley.
I then added purchased cooked Ukrainian pork meatballs from a place called Wow Perogies, and soaked dried mushrooms, and simmered for 10 minutes. Added some fresh dill and parsley and simmered a bit longer.
Topped with sour cream to taste.

How did it taste, and did your DC’s like it? I like sauerkraut, cooked and uncooked, but like the way it mellows during cooking. It looks good!
It was good, a little tangy, and very hearty.
We really liked it. I have been looking at recipes for quite a while.
I did rinse the sauerkraut, and I will do that again

I’ll have to try it, or similar, and I love barley in soups. Also have lots of good Hungarian paprika of all types that H bought while he was in Budapest. We had it out the other night while making pork paprikash, and it smelled heavenly, perfuming the whole kitchen.

I also started a Hungarian thread lol.
With my 3 local Hungarian restos going out of business in 2023, I have been making more Hungarian soups and mains at home lately.

I thought I’d mentioned the Hungarian mushroom soup - it is a good one, though pretty rich. Thanks for the links!
