Sauerkraut and White Bean Soup

Sauerkraut and White Bean Soup

Gluten-Free Omnivore Rancho Gordo Soup of the Day sotd soup of the day soups Soups & Stews Vegan Vegetarian White Beans

It’s not a bean soup or a sauerkraut soup. It’s its own thing and I can’t wait to make this again. There are many versions of this and if you aren’t using good heirloom beans, like our Royal Coronas, I would add some sausages or a ham hock. I’m not trying to be funny, but the flavor just won’t be there unless you use good heirloom beans. Similarly, if you don’t have homemade sauerkraut on hand, use a trusted brand.
