A delicious old country style soup. The combination of sauerkraut and raw cabbage is very tasty. I rinsed and drained the sauerkraut because we do prefer a milder taste. I tied the peppercorns and bay leaves in a piece of cheesecloth (from Dollar Store), tied it with kitchen string, leaving a long end, and tied it to the soup pot handle to make it easy for removal. Instead of the water I used one 14 oz. can tomatoes. It was delicious with thick chunks of French bread and butter. Will make again and try the shredded carrots instead of the tomatoes too. Another great recipe to add to my 'favorites' soup binder.

This was definitely different, and a welcome change of pace for my leftover ham bones. I didn't have a lot of meat on them, so I used a 2-lb. piece of smoked ham as well (we like ham, so more is better). I think next time I'll cut back on the chicken stock and use more water, as it came out a bit too chicken-y for our taste. In all, a satisfying and pretty tasty soup!

O.M.G. Where are the other stars! DH wanted to rate this 100, no not 10, but 100 stars! This is comfort food at it's best. I just loved the aroma that this gave my kitchen for most of the day. I kept (I know I shouldn't have but couldn't help my self) looking in the pot. This may not be the most attractive dish I have made but it really is one of the most flavorful! I made no changes up to and including step 4. Just served this with a nice German rye bread with butter. Thanks for posting and this is going in my best of 2009 cookbook.

This is amazingly delicious. I didn't rinse the sauerkraut because we like the flavor. I'll be making this economical, yummy dinner again and again.

This was great. I had never had cabbage soup because it didn't sound appealing to me. But the combination of cabbage and sauerkraut sounded interesting. I'm glad I tried it. I will make it again. Thanks
