Kapustnyak (Sauerkraut Soup) with Pork

A tasty, fragrant soup with pork and sauerkraut. This dish, charmingly named "kapustnyak," reminded me of a French soup I love — which is exactly why I decided to make it one day. I'm sure the tangy flavor of this soup (or shchi, really) will win a lot of people over. And it comes together quickly, with no fuss.
