Ingredients

Scale

Soup Base

  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • ½ cup onion, diced
  • 12.84 ounces frozen mini pierogies
  • 1 cup sauerkraut
  • 4 cups chicken broth

Seasonings

  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano

Optional Topping

  • ½ cup sour cream

Instructions

  1. Sauté the Onion: Melt the butter in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add the diced onion and cook for about 3 minutes until the onion becomes translucent and fragrant.
  2. Cook the Pierogies: Add the frozen mini pierogies to the pot and cook for an additional 4 minutes, allowing them to slightly brown and heat through.
  3. Add Sauerkraut and Broth: Stir in the sauerkraut and pour in the chicken broth. This combination forms the hearty base of the soup.
  4. Season the Soup: Add salt, black pepper, paprika, garlic powder, and dried oregano to the pot. Stir well to combine all the flavors.
  5. Simmer: Cover the pot with a lid and cook the soup for 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together and the soup to heat thoroughly.
  6. Serve: Remove the soup from heat, take off the lid, and ladle into bowls. Optionally, top each bowl with sour cream for a creamy finish.

Notes

  • If you prefer not to use sauerkraut, substitute with shredded cabbage. Add the cabbage at the same time as the onion so it can cook down along with the pierogies.
  • Store leftover soup in the refrigerator for up to 6 days in an airtight container.
  • To reheat in the microwave, place a serving in a bowl and heat for 2-3 minutes, stirring halfway through.
  • To reheat on the stovetop, warm the soup over medium-high heat for 5-7 minutes until hot.
