I always have some homemade sauerkraut on hand, so I search for recipes that contain sauerkraut. This soup is delicious!!! I will make it again and again. I had homemade kraut with red cabbage, and I believe it worked just as well. (I increased the kraut to 1 1/2 cups). I also doubled the sliced turkey to 1/2 pound. I had some turkey breast thick sliced at the deli and then cubed it for the soup. I also used two celery ribs, and lots of fresh parsley. Besides those changes, everything as printed. I almost skipped the riesling wine, and am glad that I did not. It definitely adds to the flavor of the delicious broth! I will save the bottle in the fridge for the next time I make this wonderful, healthy soup!

My hubby was craving sauerkraut and he cannot eat it plain because of dietary restrictions! This is a No. 1 Soup! Great Flavor! I left out the leek, and beef broth. Used 5 1/2 cups chicken broth made with granules and wine mixed plus a dash of bitters in the broth. I also used dried cilantro. I loved all of the vegies in this soup plus the potato and sauerkraut. I used sliced leftover turkey breast and some dark meat also. I made a thick crusty bread. For those who do not like sauerkraut served hot or cold, you will like it in this soup. It has a stronger deeper flavor if refrigerated and heated the next day. Yummmm!
