Ingredients

• 1 pound ground beef
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 medium yellow onion
• 3 cloves garlic cloves
• 1 large carrot
• 1 medium celery stalk
• 2 medium potatoes
• 2 cups sauerkraut
• 6 cups beef broth
• 2 tablespoons tomato paste
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 leaf bay leaf
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley

Directions

Step 1

Heat a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat and add the olive oil.

Step 2

Once the oil is hot, add the ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it up with a spoon. Drain any excess fat and set the beef aside.

Step 3

Finely chop the onion, mince the garlic, and dice the carrot and celery. Add the onion, garlic, carrot, and celery to the pot and sauté for 5-7 minutes, or until softened.

Step 4

Peel and dice the potatoes into small cubes. Add the potatoes to the pot along with the sauerkraut, stirring to combine.

Step 5

Return the cooked ground beef to the pot and pour in the beef broth. Stir in the tomato paste, dried thyme, paprika, and bay leaf.

Step 6

Bring the soup to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and let it simmer uncovered for 25-30 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.

Step 7

Remove the bay leaf and season the soup with salt and black pepper, adjusting to taste.

Step 8

Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
