Step-by-step method

Let’s cook

At a glance

This hearty winter warmer comes together in about 50 minutes of simmering, starting with bacon and smoked ribs to build rich flavor, then layering in potatoes, sauerkraut, and beetroot for that distinctive deep red color. The soup actually tastes even better the next day or two, so it's perfect for making ahead when you've got time.

About this recipe

You could give it plenty of other names, but the most fitting would simply be "warming soup." It came together much like the fable of the dog and the cat baking a cake – a bit of everything, thrown in as it seemed right. It's truly at its best on the second or third day (if there's any left, that is).
