Slow-Cooked Sauerkraut Soup

A slow cooker job: five hours, and it makes about three quarts. The kielbasa and sauerkraut carry it; the chicken is mostly there for bulk.

  • 1 can (32 ounces) sauerkraut, rinsed and well drained
  • 4 cups chicken broth

  • ½ pound sliced fresh mushrooms
  • 1 cup cubed cooked chicken
  • 2 medium carrots, sliced
  • 2 celery ribs, sliced
  • 2 tablespoons white vinegar
  • 2 teaspoons dill weed
  • ½ teaspoon pepper
  • 3 to 4 bacon strips, cooked and crumbled

Instructions

  1. In a 5-qt. slow cooker, combine the first 12 ingredients.

  2. Cover and cook on high for 5-6 hours or until the vegetables are tender.

  3. Skim fat.

  4. Garnish with bacon.
