Cooking method

Cooking time: 40 min
  1. Step 1:

    Step 1

    Roughly cut the potatoes, onion, carrot, and celery and sauté them in a saucepan in vegetable oil until the onion turns translucent. Go for a starchy potato variety that breaks down when cooked — you want a thick, purée-like soup.

  2. Step 2:

    Step 2

    Once the vegetables have lightly browned, add just enough broth to cover them and salt to taste. Get the sauerkraut ready.

  3. Step 3:

    Step 3

    Add the sauerkraut near the end of cooking, once the potatoes have started to break down; simmer just a couple more minutes and turn off the heat. Dice the pork belly and fry it with caraway — you'll use it to garnish the soup and bring out its flavor.

  4. Step 4:

    Step 4

    Ladle the soup into bowls and top with the fried bacon. You can add a pinch of caraway right in the bowl — it's very fitting here.
