Vegetable Soup With Sauerkraut and Smoked Turkey Breast

Here is an awesome soup that i got out of "The New German Cookbook". I make it often and it is greedily eaten by those in attendance. I would advise a double recipe.

• 1  large baking potato, chopped

• 1⁄3 cup riesling wine (I prefer liebfraumilch)

1. melt the butter and sauté the onion, leek, carrot, celery, and bay leaf till golden.
2. Add potato, sauerkraut, broths, wine and simmer for 30 minutes.
3. In a heatproof bowl, blend the egg yolk with the sour cream.
