Sauerkraut Soup w/ Kielbasa (Keto)
Trust me…
I know, I know…you’re not a fan of sauerkraut. Trust me!
If you’ve been on a keto low carb journey you may be looking for more easy options to bring to your table. This Sauerkraut Soup is easy, inexpensive AND flipping DELICIOUS!!!
This Creamy Sauerkraut Soup with Kielbasa is the answer to your easy weeknight dinner. And everyone I have ever served this soup is pleasantly surprised. Trust me.
Boar’s Head is my choice
There will be many many choices for the kielbasa. I gravitate towards Boar’s Head brand. It’s usually the cleanest, inexpensive and easily found at most supermarkets.
Other brands of kielbasa will have a minor amount of carbs, but not enough that it should deter you.
The Carb Count
FYI…The carb count in this Sauerkraut soup is dependent on the use of Boar’s Head kielbasa. Most other brands with have some carbs because if the fillers. Look for Boar’s Head or any other clean Kielbasa as a first choice.
Pin this idea for later!

OMG – I love this (with triple dill). Made it for dinner tonight! It’s amazing – Thank you!
Was thinking of using cabbage instead of sauerkraut. Comments welcomed.
Many people have asked and/or suggested cabbage. I’m going to try this, too. Sauerkraut is after all just fermented cabbage. I imagine you will not have the tang if you just use cabbage, but I think it will still be delicious. I’ll let you know if I try. xoxo, Kellie
