I've never eaten so DELICIOUS 👌 | Polish PORK and SAUERKRAUT Soup | QUICK AND EASY

pork shoulder

🥗Healthier: chicken thighs

💰Cheaper: pork neck

Chicken thighs reduce fat while still providing flavor.

smoked sausage

🥗Healthier: turkey sausage

💰Cheaper: regular sausage

Turkey sausage is lower in fat and calories.

sauerkraut

🥗Healthier: fermented cabbage

💰Cheaper: canned cabbage

Fermented cabbage offers similar tanginess and health benefits.

broth

🥗Healthier: vegetable stock

💰Cheaper: water with seasoning

Vegetable stock is lighter and can be made from scraps.

Heat vegetable oil or lard in a large pot over medium heat.

Add chopped celery and sauté until softened.

Stir in optional wild garlic leaves or spring onion and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.

Add chopped potatoes and cook for a few minutes.

Pour in water (pork broth) and bring to a boil.
