Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 2 large cloves garlic, minced
  • ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • ¼ cup all-purpose flour
  • 5 cups chicken broth
  • 1 cup sauerkraut, drained
  • 3 medium Yukon gold potatoes, peeled and diced
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon pickling spices
  • ¼ teaspoon caraway seeds
  • 2 bay leaves
  • ½ cup heavy cream
  • Kosher salt to taste
  • ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 2 cups cooked chicken, chopped
  • 1 cup Swiss cheese, shredded
  • Toasted rye bread (optional, for serving)

Instructions

  1. Melt the butter in a large pot over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté until softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic and red pepper flakes; cook for an additional minute.
  2. Sprinkle the flour over the onions and stir to coat evenly. Cook the mixture for about 3 minutes, stirring frequently to remove the raw flour taste.
  3. Slowly pour in the chicken broth, scraping the bottom of the pot to loosen any browned bits. Add the potatoes, sauerkraut, Worcestershire sauce, pickling spices, caraway seeds, and bay leaves. Stir to combine.
  4. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer. Cook for 12–15 minutes or until the potatoes are tender. Remove the bay leaves and any large pieces of pickling spices.
  5. Stir in the heavy cream, then add the chopped chicken. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and black pepper as needed.
  6. Ladle the soup into bowls and sprinkle each serving with shredded Swiss cheese. Optionally, serve with toasted rye bread on the side for dipping.
