Traditional Sauerkraut Soup
Sauerkraut has been one of the only vegetables available during the cold winter months in my home country. It doesn't come as a surprise that this soup was traditionally eaten during Christmas time. Nourishing, incredibly easy to make and slightly sweet thanks to apples and plums, it is my favorite soup for winter.
