liters Cold water (9 cups)

White onion

Carrot (or 2 smaller ones)

Parsley root

springs Parsley

Salt

Black pepper

Bay leaf

Allspice berry

tsp Caraway seeds

marjoram

tbsp Clarified butter

All-purpose flour

Cook the Meat

Rinse the pork ribs, cut into pieces, and place in a large pot with cold water and salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 40 minutes, skimming off any foam.

Add Vegetables

Peel and clean the carrot, parsley root, and celery. Wash the onion (leave the skin on). Add the vegetables, bay leaf, and allspice to the pot. Simmer for 30 minutes.

Add Potatoes

Peel and dice the potatoes, then add to the pot. Simmer for 10 minutes.

Add Sauerkraut

Rinse and chop the sauerkraut. Add it to the soup along with caraway seeds and marjoram. Cook for another 20 minutes. Remove the cooked vegetables and parsley sprigs.

Season

Season with ground pepper. Taste and adjust the salt if needed.

Cook the Bacon

Dice the bacon and cook it in a small pan with clarified butter or oil until golden brown. Add to the soup.

Make a Roux

(Optional): In the same pan, add flour to the remaining bacon fat and cook until golden brown, stirring constantly. Add a few tablespoons of the soup to the roux, mix well, then return to the pot.

Blend and Serve

Grate the cooked carrot and add it back to the soup. Serve hot with a dollop of sour cream if desired.

Fantastic!  Made this with some homemade sauerkraut and can't wait to make it again.
