This is the closest recipe I have found to a soup that my Great-grandfather use to make and he was from the Ukraine & my Great-grandmother was from Hungaria. The only substitutes I made was I added a can of tomato paste and I used ham and it tasted just like what I could remember! Thanks for post and helping me relive a childhood memory!

Nice blend of spices and just the right degree of heat. I used less salt than indicated as the sauerkraut I used was quite salty already. Thanks for sharing this recipe.
