Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 4 cups beef broth
  • 2 cups sauerkraut, drained
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup shredded Swiss cheese
  • 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley for garnish

Method
 

Cooking
  1. In a large pot over medium heat, add the ground beef. Brown the meat, breaking it into smaller pieces as it cooks. This should take about 5-7 minutes. Drain excess fat if needed.
  2. Add the diced onion and minced garlic to the pot. Cook until the onion is translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
  3. Pour in the beef broth and bring to a simmer. This will form the soup's flavorful base.
  4. Stir in the drained sauerkraut, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper. Allow it to simmer for about 10 minutes to meld the flavors.
  5. Reduce the heat to low, then stir in the heavy cream and Swiss cheese. Allow it to gently heat through until the cheese melts, about 2-3 minutes.
  6. Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with fresh parsley. Serve warm and enjoy the cozy vibes!

Notes

For substitutions, ground turkey or chicken can be used for a leaner option. Avoid boiling the soup after adding cream and cheese to prevent separation. Soup can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or frozen for up to a month (add cheese and cream fresh when reheating).
