- 300 g Smoked pork hock or ribs(optional, for flavor)
- 200 g Sauerkraut(roughly chopped, plus some brine)
- 2 medium Carrots(diced)
- 1 medium Parsley root(diced (or celery root))

👨🍳 Instructies
- 1
Drain soaked beans. Place beans and smoked meat (if using) in a large pot. Cover with fresh water and bring to a boil. Skim off any foam. Reduce heat and simmer for about 1 hour, or until beans and meat are tender.
- 2
While beans are cooking, prepare the base. In a separate pot or the same pot after removing meat, sauté chopped onion in butter or oil until translucent. Add diced carrots and parsley root and cook for 5-7 minutes until slightly softened.
- 3
Add minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant. Stir in the flour and cook for 1-2 minutes to make a roux.
- 4
Add the sauerkraut and its brine (start with a little and add more to taste) to the sautéed vegetables. Stir well.
- 5
Once the beans and meat are tender, remove the meat from the pot. Shred or dice the meat and return it to the soup. Discard bones if any.
- 6
Add the vegetable and sauerkraut mixture to the pot with the beans. Add marjoram, salt, and pepper. If the soup is not sour enough, add a tablespoon or two of vinegar.
- 7
Simmer the soup for another 20-30 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld. Adjust seasoning and sourness as needed.
- 8
Serve hot, perhaps with a slice of fresh bread.
