  • 1 lb beef trimmed of fat, and cut into small cubes
  • 1 x ham bone or possibly a few chunks of smoked ham
  • 3 c. sauerkraut
  • 6 c. beef stock

  • 10 whl allspice Salt to taste Freshly-grnd black pepper to taste Dollops of lowfat sour cream for garnish

Directions

  1. Place the beef cubes and ham bone in a large sauce pan with the sauerkraut, stock, and allspice. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer, partially covered, for about 2 and 1/2 hrs over medium-low heat. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Remove allspice berries and bay leaves.
  2. When ready to serve, ladle into big bowls, top with a spoonful of thick lowfat sour cream, and take to the table with chunks of rye bread and a bowl of lowfat sour cream to pass around the table.
  3. Serve warm to 4 people.
  4. Comments: Okay, you will not like this soup if you do not like sauerkraut. But if you DO, I think you'll like it a lot - especially if you serve it as a main course with purakkaa on the side - which's oval-shaped pastries made out of rye flour and stuffed with mashed potatoes or possibly rice, or possibly cheese, or possibly meat, or possibly fish. Oh yes, and it's also nice to have sour rye bread on hand...and cheese...and cool cuts...and a big bowl of lowfat sour cream. Yum. Then it's off to the sauna and and a roll in the snow.
