Mellow and meaty where I expected sharp and tangy, this soup was a snap, and rich with flavors. And I loved that I made it with leftover roasted potatoes and carrots, and leftover sausage and sauerkraut (plus 2 hotdogs reaching their "sell by" date). As with Michelle S., the mixture filled to slow cooker, even without the mushrooms. Good recipe, Judikins!

Very good and easy....but I cannot believe I forgot the mushrooms! Just as well as this BARELY fit into my crockpot using only 1 can of sauerkraut. It is a little tart, but I like that about sauerkraut so I am pleased about that. I used smoked bratwurst which worked out wonderfully. The house smelled spectacular while it was cooking. We will have this again for lunch today served with buttered rye bread. Yum..thanks Judikins for sharing!
