Kielbasi Soup
Serves 4?

1 lbs Kielbasa, diced
1 huge onion, fine chop
2 ribs celery, fine chop
2 cloves minced garlic
1 tsp Caraway seeds
1 cup Apple Cider or Juice
2 lbs Sauerkraut, drained and lightly rinsed
6 cups (1 giant can) Chicken stock
1 bottle beer
2 red potatoes, scrubbed and cubed
1/2 tsp Thyme
1/4 cup apple cider vinegar

Caramelize kielbasa in a soup pot. Add onion and celery, and saute. Add garlic and caraway, and season aggressively.
Once garlic has softened, deglaze with cider/juice, and reduce well.
Add kraut, broth, beer, and thyme. Bring to a boil, and simmer about 45 mins, until potatoes are done.
Finish with vinegar.
