    Title: Kapusnyak (Sauerkraut Soup)
    Categories: Soups, Ukrainian
    Yield: 1 Batch

    1/2 lb Smoked pork shank or
    - fresh spare ribs
    8 c Water
    1 md Onion; chopped
    1 md Potato; diced
    1 sm Carrot; sliced
    1/2 c Mushrooms; chopped
    3 c Sauerkraut
    1 tb Onion; finely chopped
    1 tb Fat
    2 tb Flour
    1 tb Sour cream
    Salt & pepper
    Dill or parsley; chopped

    MMMMM--------------------VARIATION WITH PEAS-------------------------
    1/2 c Dried peas; or more, cooked

    Wash the meat, cover with the water, and tender. With long cooking
    some more water may be needed. Add the onion, potato, peas if using,
    and carrot, and continue simmering until the vegetables are done.
    Remove the meat and press the vegetables through a sieve. Return the
    meat and the pressed vegetable stock to the kettle; add the mushrooms
    and sauerkraut. If the kraut is very sour, rinse it in cold water
    before adding it to the soup. Simmer these ingredients until the
    kraut is tender, about 20 minutes. If cooked, dried, or canned
    mushrooms are used, add the mushroom liquid to the soup also. Cook
    the onion in the hot fat until tender, stir in the flour and brown it
    lightly. Pour some soup liquid into it, stir until smooth, and return
    it to the soup. Add the cream, season to taste, and bring to a boil.
    Flavor with the dill or parsley. Serve the meat as a separate course,
    or place a small slice of it into each bowl of soup. This soup is
    usually served with rye bread.
