Sauerkraut soup is widely eaten in countries throughout Europe. But it’s not everyone’s cup of tea. I get it. If you are not used to it you may find it weird but if you haven’t tried it yet I think you should give it a go because…well, because it’s yummy and also it’s good for you!

Did you know that sauerkraut was consumed hundreds of years back by various nations for its qualities? Apparently even James Cook always took sauerkraut on his voyages to help him fight the deficit of Vitamin C that was so common among sailors.

So yes, sauerkraut itself is very healthy. It is a good source of Vitamin B12 as well as Vitamin C & K. It also has antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties, helps fights fatigue, viruses and bacteria. Sauerkraut also helps remove harmful substances from your body.

And because it’s winter time and because I love this soup, here is my recipe (Even though my mum cooks this soup quite often, I have actually never asked for her recipe. I somehow developed my own version, where I’ve tried to get as close as possible to the taste I know from her cooking…I like it so I think I’ve succeeded and I hope you’ll like it too).
