On Sundays the crock pot is my best friend. I know that, with only a tiny bit of forethought and preparation on Saturday evening, I can just pop a few ingredients into my slow cooker early in the morning, and by the time we get home from church a delicious dinner will be waiting for us.
And it doesn't have to be anything fancy either. Delicious and sustaining is all it needs to be and this soup is exactly that. Delicious and sustaining.
All you need is a jar of sauerkraut, some fresh veg, stock, tomato puree and a bit of smoked sausage and you have the makings of a deliciously simple dinner. In fact you could not get much easier than this. (or tastier!)
I always have smoked sausage in the house, but I am sure even hot dogs would work, or scraps of ham, or even bacon. Anything smoky . . . this is so simple to do and so flavourful . . .
Another thing I love about it is that cooking it doesn't heat up my whole kitchen. That's a bonus in the summertime, and lets face it, there are days when you want more to eat than a salad or some other cold coalition . . . when you want something a tiny bit heartier.
This tasty soup fits the bill on all counts. Hearty and economical. Delicious. You can't get much better than that. Simple ingredients put together in a simple and easy way. I have never had anyone turn a bowl of this down.

Serves 8Another plus for us is the leftovers that are so easy to reheat the day after. This is one of those things that the leftovers, if anything, taste even better! This is so delicious it might even turn the most ardent sauerkraut hater into a lover of the same. I hope you will give it a go! It also makes a great midweek supper! Bon Appetit!
